When You Left

Lorraine Horsley is passionate about learning and helping people overcome fear and self doubt on their education journey. A sickly chid, Lorraine didn’t attend school much, but when she left she made up for lost time and still loves studying. Lorraine has a Bachelor of Arts in English, an Associate Degree in Training and Development, a Master of Arts in Professional Writing and Literature and is about to embark on another education journey with a Higher Degree by Research. Lorraine calls Australia home and for most of her life she has worked in the media. For many years she was a presenter and producer with ABC Radio. She’s also spent the last couple of decades teaching and tutoring students at the start of their higher education journeys. When not teaching or studying, Lorraine spends her time writing. She loves writing stories for children and is currently working on an adult novel. She is a long-time member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and is a committee member of the Children’s Book Council of Australia WA Branch (CBCAWA).
