Lynne Hackles – Butterfly Writer
Butterfly Writer is how Lynne Hackles describes herself because of the abundance of writing projects and genres she’s comfortable with.
Lynne has written advertisements in rhyme, greeting cards and comic strip stories (Bunty and Girl), newspaper articles and short stories for women’s magazines. She has contributed to a children’s book of humorous short stories, Don’t Make Me Laugh, and written one, Racing Start. She has also written three books about writing and been a ghostwriter. She has recently had her first novel accepted, Gail Lockwood and Her Imaginary Agony Aunt. Lynne’s done it all, except for poetry and pornography.

Lynne speaks from experience: she has interviewed over 500 writers and they all admit to procrastinating. Writers obviously could need help…
