Lives in: Bristol
Create: Ever
since I can remember, I have written. As a child I wrote stories, odd
fairy tales and then moved on to angsty poetry. As a student I mixed
political and creative writing in my zine, Crooked Rib, which evolved
into my blog:
In
2011, I self-published an anthology that brought together women's and
men's experiences of becoming a feminist. The Light Bulb Moment is
available to buy
here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/sian-norris/the-light-bulb-moment-the-stories-of-why-we-are-feminists/paperback/product-18726169.html and
brings together funny, painful, inspiring and poetic narratives of
our feminist lives.
In
2013, my first novel, 'Greta and Boris: a daring rescue' was
published by Our Street Books. A book aimed at children and adults
from 7+, it tells the story of Greta as she goes on a magical
adventure to rescue Boris, her cat, from the Rat King.
I'm
now working on my second novel and laying plans for the third.
As
well as fiction, I do feminism - and write about it. I've published
articles on feminism in the Guardian, Liberal Conspiracy and The F
Word. For six years I coordinated the Bristol Feminist Network -
organising marches, demos, petitions, gigs, film nights, panels and
discussion groups. In 2013 I founded and organised the first ever
Bristol Women's Literature Festival - an event that will continue to
grow and flourish (I hope) for years to come.
