Welcome. My name is Dr Helen Edwards. I have a PhD in Psychology. I am an author of children’s and young adult fiction, and non-fiction for adults. I am an award-winning health and sustainability writer, blogger and advocate. I am represented by Debbie Golvan, of Golvan Arts Management.

I like to write about people and planet, and I include nature, our environment and relationships between people, in both my sustainability and health writing, and my fiction books for children.

I am currently working on my diabetes memoir and a couple of middle-grade stories, as well as writing here at my blog. You will see a wide range of topics here, including health, mental health, disability, diabetes, sustainable living, the environment, climate change and more. I am available for all sorts of freelance writing, advocacy and speaking work – see more here.

I look forward to sharing stories with you and inspiring action for people and planet, with kindness and hope.
