I Say I Say

The blog is written by Glynis Quinlan – a journalist, PR practitioner and teacher who has made her living primarily out of writing ‘words’ for close to three decades. Glynis hails from the small country town of Kempsey on the mid North Coast of NSW (Australia) and currently lives in Canberra, the nation’s capital. When she was little, Glynis used to talk a lot. Her parents recount that, when she ran out of words to say, she would resort to singing. I think they got tired of it! But as she grew, Glynis learnt how to listen, and then to enquire. In this way, the budding journalist was born (with the help of a uni degree and some rural newspaper training). From there it was on to a career as a press secretary, a public relations practitioner, back to journalism and then on to teaching in most of these fields. And, amongst it all, resided the creative writing hobby. All in all, this is a lot of words!
