About Veronica

Poet, playwright and photographer, Veronica's work is funny, touching and instinctive. 

Her poems range from hair to heaven, love to libraries in a variety of forms and an easy, open style. 

She loves crafting words into a way of communicating ideas. "I love the way 'playwright' suggests that writing plays is a craft, a constructive, honing exercise, in the way a wheelwright creates something useful like a wheel".

Her work has appeared on Radio 2 and in a number of anthologies, and she chairs and comperes the successful Settle Sessions which bring leading writers and poets to North Yorkshire. She has judged poetry competitions for children and adults across the country.

She has written and produced numerous one and two act plays to critical acclaim, and is half of the comedy-drama duo Lippy Logic which tours festivals, village halls and anywhere else that will have them. 

Veronica is married with a grown-up daughter and lives in The Forest of Bowland across the road from the Yorkshire Dales, where she is never lost for words but frequently short of time.
