Gabriella Kelly-Davies becomes a published biographer with debut book ‘Breaking Through the Pain Barrier’
Courses taken at AWC:
Life Writing
Pitch Your Novel: How to Attract Agents and Publishers
Retiring from corporate life was the perfect opportunity for Gabriella Kelly-Davies to pursue her passion for biography. After completing Patti Miller’s popular Life Writing course at the Australian Writers’ Centre, Gabriella went on to write the biography of Professor Michael Cousins AO, a trailblazing Australian pain medicine pioneer. Gabriella then followed on with the Pitch Your Novel: How to Attract Agents and Publishers course to learn how to get the book published.
“I followed AWC’s advice to the letter, attracting a publisher within weeks,” Gabriella says.
Her debut biography Breaking Through the Pain Barrier: The Extraordinary Life of Dr Michael J. Cousins has now been published by Hawkeye Publishing.
