Peaches Ledwidge
I like to express in various ways: stories, poems, art works, photography...
My writing career started when I took a writing course taught by Professor Guy Allen at the University of Toronto. I took the course because I had a deep longing to express. (I would express myself through writing since elementary school, but I abandoned writing in my late teens.) I loved the writing course and, of course, having a great teacher only made my experience richer. I wrote many stories. Of all the courses I took in university, I had never given them so much of myself or my talent as I did with my writing course. I received my investment for my time spent writing--the first highest undergraduate grade, a published book titled Waves Against Rocks, invitations to read my stories in university classes and educational workshops, presentations at conferences, a circle of ethnically diverse writer friends, radio exposure, grants for my writing and the idea for the book, Day Laughs, Night Cries: Fifteen that I'm now working on I have now published.
Yes, this is a bit about me - mainly my writing career.
