Virtual Reader, Writer & Parent Resources, For Surviving COVID-19 Isolation

By Helen Edwards | March 17, 2020 | 0
surviving COVID-19 in Australia - how to deal with self-isolation

Dear 2020, you’ve been a crappy year so far. Everything is changing, and it feels like we’re adrift on a tumbling, angry sea, our fingers grasping at the railings. The helplessness of the current Coronavirus pandemic is crippling and the creeping hopelessness that climbs into your throat each day, can be utterly devastating. The gnawing…

Insights From KidLitVic 2019 – Tips on Getting Your Children’s Book Published

By Helen Edwards | June 11, 2019 | 6

I have been quiet on the blog front over the past few weeks, because we have been on a family road trip, with me going from one wonderful writing event to another. We traversed Victoria and NSW, from tall timber forests, to Mt. Kosciuszko, to the ocean, to the river, and home again. Over the…

Hi there and welcome! My name is Dr Helen Edwards. I have a PhD in Psychology and am an author of children’s and young adult fiction and non-fiction for adults, represented by Debbie Golvan, of Golvan Arts Management.

I am an award-winning wellbeing and eco blogger and a freelance writer.

I am Mama to 3 beautiful sons and live in Adelaide with my family, 2 snuggly cats and a very energetic young Kelpie.

I have wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember. So, I went off and became a social worker! Seriously not writerly. But in fact it was, because most of my work over the decades has been about people’s stories.

I have lived with type 1 diabetes since 1979 and have quite a few other chronic conditions that make life tricky, including stomach paralysis (gastroparesis), anxiety and ADHD.

In 2001 I founded an award-winning online counselling service to support people living with diabetes. It was the first in the world and it was a hit. I ran this for more than 16 years and won many awards for this work. You can see more here.

In 2013 I started a sustainable blog and decorating service, which is now merged here at my writing site. I am passionate about our beautiful Mother Earth and about inspiring action.

You can sign up here for my occasional news, shop for books and eco-products here and head here to find my writing services.

The Buzz

“Over the past few years the idea that the way we humans live our lives impacts on the world and everything in it has been a much explored theme in new literature in all modes. This new text by Helen Edwards of Recycled Interiors is a beautiful book, a good read, accessible and easy to dip into. Helen blends her own distilled thoughts, developed through years of blogging and research, with material from contributors, quoted material from the great thinkers of the world, and beautifully composed photographs. Written from the heart, Helen has produced a work which speaks to us all about the importance of even our smallest actions”.

Helen Wilde – B. A., B.Ed., Dip T (sec.)

I’m a newbie to all things sustainable, but Helen’s book had my interest piqued from the start. She covers lots of areas of sustainability – cooking, gardening, furniture restoration, and sustainable decorating – and makes some great points about the benefits of these practices, backed up with facts about environmental impacts. Would recommend her book to anyone looking for a simple, common-sense guide to sustainability” – Bridgett McDonald, The Able Editor

“I was delighted to have an early peek at Helen’s Healthy People, Healthy Planet, Healthy Home! Considering myself a little eco-savvy, I was looking forward to flicking through and finding a few ideas here and there, but have been blown away by how much is crammed into an e-book that is still so easy and enjoyable to read. Helen’s passion for healthy choices in every aspect of life is evident, and each chapter is full of useful information, inspirational pictures and action items. Whether you are building a home, looking to make the most of a rental apartment or are already on the way to a sustainable lifestyle – buy it!” – Heather
