About the Tutor
Geraldine Ryan's first short story was published by “My Weekly” in 1993. She has since had stories published in Woman's Weekly, My Lady, Take-a-Break and other UK magazines as well as women's magazines in Scandinavia and Australia. Four years ago she was asked to contribute a serial to Woman's Weekly and since that first one several have followed. Her stories straddle all genres – crime, romance, family stories, humour and she's also been known to write the odd ghost story and time travel tale.
She has also published a novel for teens – “Model Behaviour” (Scholastic) and written “The Lies and Loves of Finn” – a tie-in novel based on the Channel 4 “Hollyoaks” soap and has been winner or runner up in several writing competitions. She is a teacher of many years experience and has taught English and EFL in schools and colleges, as well as creative writing to adults through workshops and LEA evening classes.
