Judi Moore: writing biography

I’ve been a professional writer since 1997 producing poetry; long and short fiction; and reviews of poetry, books and music. Between 2006 and 2013 I worked as a part-time creative writing tutor at university level. In 2016 I was commissioned to write lyrics for a 20-minute piece of music for choir, brass ensemble and percussion, which premiered in November 2017.

I have not, so far, hit the big time with my writing so I’ve been living on fresh air and steam for more than 20 years. And I’ve enjoyed every day of it. I love being steeped in writing: making it, reading it, reviewing and beta-reading, giving workshops.

 

 

I write a variety of stuff in a number of forms: fiction both short and long, poetry and reviews; the fiction is often set in the past, occasionally the present, sometimes the future. A reasonable grounding in history (one of my passions) enables one sometimes to spot a trend that might carry into the future. My novella Little Mouse is set in the past, 10 years after World War II. My novel, Is death really necessary? is set in 2038. Actually, they are sort of the first and third parts in a loose trilogy (although they also stand alone fine). Three people are urging me to get on with the bit in the middle, so … In addition to the holey trilogy, I have also published a selection of my better short fiction. As it has yet to attract a single review perhaps the stories aren’t as good as I thought! If you feel like voicing an opinion I am happy to send you a copy gratis, providing you aren’t too rude about them
