After a successful career in PR and marketing communications, Beverly Martens is now concentrating on her own creative writing. To this end, she moved from Wellington to Dunedin in 2006 to enroll in Diane Brown’s writing courses and writes short stories and poems between grappling with her first novel. Beverly has had poems published in both the Otago Daily Times and a ‘parenting’ anthology (despite not having children) unless, of course, you count her delightful, sprightly 14-year old terrier, Curly. Her poetry has been published in “We Society” Poetry Anthology 2015.
