Hi There!

Who is Jackie in the Little Writing Corner?

I’m a writer of all things feel-good (except my thriller which was the opposite of that). I love books, libraries, the forest and the sea. I live with my husband Mr.M and a black spaniel, on the east coast of Scotland right by the beach and a castle…except when we are not at home and are travelling in our motorhome. You can also follow me on Instagram where I post Stories and Reels about my writing and travelling life! Instagram - Jacmorr

I trained as a journalist and have published news stories, short stories, poetry and a short novel. I’ve been short-listed and long-listed for things and some of my writing career highlights include being a finalist in Pitch Perfect at Bloody Scotland where I pitched my novel to a panel of publishing professionals; being shortlisted with Simon & Schuster for a romance, and being shortlisted with Penguin for a Christmas Love Story.

For many years I was manager of a charity with its many projects, staff groups and endless challenges! I turned my life around - and I now spend time with family, travel in the motorhome and write, write, write.

I had stories in print through all of 2024 and am on track to do the same during 2025.

If you are interested in short stories, poetry and novel writing, do join the Little Writing Corner crew! You can follow, but I’d be over the moon if you subscribe as that way you will never miss a newsletter and I’ll feel like we can get to know each other a bit better!
