About Me
Hi, I’m an author and writing group leader living in Scotland, UK. I’ve been active for more than ten years leading physical writing groups, hosting author events, and publishing three highly-reviewed novels whilst helping new writers achieve their goals.
My self-published debut novel The Last Gift, became a bestseller in Amazon’s Historical Fiction Category in 2015 and since then I’ve produced three more novels.
In 2017 I joined Charlotte Green Publishing, UK. My books are now available at Waterstones, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other bookstores.

Hi Carla,
I have recently completed my first novel – The Bench and came across you while researching. I read your short story also titled The Bench – must be a Carla thingI am in the process of finding a suitable agent. do you have any tips?

Hello Carla, great to meet you and thanks for stopping by. If you are in the UK have you tried the Writers and Artists yearbook which lists publisher/agent details and requirements in the UK? The following listing is also useful http://www.writersservices.com/listings/uk-literary-agent-listing. There is a lot of research involved in finding an agent and I also advise not to overlook the smaller and lesser known businesses, which would improve your chances and can also offer many publishing advantages.
In any case, I wish you the very best of luck with your book!
Regards
Carla
Hello Carla,
I’ve spent a most enjoyable day reading The Last Gift, which I will recommend to others. The book was very well written, good pace of delivery, and tugged at the emotions; I admit to shedding a tear in places.
One short paragraph near the end of the book was outstanding, one of the best I have ever read. The book finished in the correct place; so often authors get this wrong. I look forward to reading your next. I remain very impressed.
best wishes,
Jonno
Hi Carla. I discovered your books in my book club in Chester. Can I get a signed copy?

Hi Cara I read your books and loved them but would like to know if there are any audio copies please ?
Hello Janice. Some good news on that should arrive in the New Year. Thanks for your interest.
Hi Carla, just wanted to drop a note to say how much I’ve enjoyed Girl Forgoten and also that you’re a great inspiration to wannabe writers like me! It would be great to see more posted ‘how to’help articles. 🙂

Is the writing group still running ?
Hello Moira, not in Gibraltar sadly. A physical group is formed in my new location but check out the courses I’m providing online soon, these are based on the physical classes you attended.
Best regards
