AN author has been appointed as the new writer in residence at Worcester University.
Helena Attlee of Presteigne, Powys, is a non-fiction author who specialises in gardens. She writes specifically about the cultural history of gardens and the lives of the people connected with them.
Ms Attlee is a fellow of the Royal Literary Fund (RLF). Her year-long post at the university has been organised and paid for by the RLF.
She said: “I’m really delighted to be at the University of Worcester. I didn’t realise how much my experience as a writer could help others with their work, no matter what the subject.
“It’s a huge pleasure to be able to help students.”
