Tanya Southey is a people-collector, tea-drinker, dog-lover and poetry-junkie. Her children's adventure Ollie and the Starchaser is a children's adventure story that subtly explores loss and grief. In 2017 she published Streetwise, a poetry challenge where she partnered with her friend, Denise Smith, a street photographer in London and wrote a poem a week. They enjoyed their collaboration so much that they continued for 3 years, never missing a week. Tanya's mission in life or work is to help people reach their full potential.
