Writer Of The Week: Meg Stokes

Your newest “Friend” story, “Winter Of Forgiveness”, appears in our new Special, out on December 30.
Tell us about your writing – how long have you written for the “Friend”?
I’ve always enjoyed writing and, in my 40s, decided to study for an English degree at Nottingham University as a mature student.
This included a module of creative writing under Tom Paulin. However, it wasn’t until 2010 that I plucked up the courage to submit work and my first published piece was a history of Stumpwork Embroidery in a craft magazine.
That same year, I had my first story published in the “Friend”.
