Mary Earnshaw’s writing life began in technical journalism as a European editor covering telecommunications and electronic defense for an American company – after a history degree! She has worked in PR, both as a consultant and in-house. Mary has lived and worked in the Netherlands (with Philips), run a small academic press and she has always written freelance. She has spent lots of time in Africa, mostly in Zambia, thanks to marrying an archaeologist. Mary began writing poetry in earnest in 2019. In 2021, she was shortlisted for the Bridport poetry prize and Julian Lennon poetry prize. Her poetry, short fiction and creative non-fiction have appeared in various print journals and anthologies. A pamphlet, ‘Belisama’, was a prize-winning ‘new alliance’ with three other Merseyside poets. Mary spent 2022/2023 writing a non-fiction book based around visiting monastic ruins, ‘Right Awful and Sublime’ a sentimental journey among the ruins of belief which she is currently submitting.
