Maggie Brookes-Butt has been writing all her life, as a journalist, BBC TV producer, poet and novelist. Her most recent book is 'Wish - new and selected poems', which gathers work from six previous poetry collections (under the name Maggie Butt) alongside 21 new poems.  Her two historical novels were published as Maggie Brookes by Penguin Random House. She taught creative writing at Middlesex University for 30 years, has a PhD in Creative Writing from Cardiff University and was a Royal Literary Fund Fellow. As well as being a writer she is a compulsive reader, hopeful gardener, dreadful cook, besotted grandmother and a Londoner to the bone, though she loves to swim in the sea. Poetry website: www.maggiebutt.co.uk Fiction website: www.maggiebrookes.uk  Instagram: maggie__brookes
