Short Story Writers: Linda Mitchelmore

Linda Mitchelmore has lived in Devon all her life where the wonderful scenery and history give her endless ideas for short stories. She has worked in a bank and for a pharmaceutical company but gave up the latter to concentrate on her writing. :Linda has been published in just about all the women's interest weekly magazines with the exception of The Lady - but is not in the least surprised they didn't take her work!

Linda also enters competitions - Writing Magazine, Writespace, The Bridport, amongst others and has had varying degrees of success. Short Story Radio is Linda's first venture into the broadcast story.

Married to Roger for 40 years and with two grown-up children, Linda is now the proud grandmother of Alexander - almost three years old - and she is quite happy to leave her writing to the evening so she can spend time with him.

But it's not all Alex-sitting and key-tapping, because she also loves gardening, walking, cycling and riding pillion on her husband's vintage motorbikes.
