About me

I’m a freelance writer based in Cape Town, South Africa.

Since 2002 I’ve been writing short stories and serials and to date I’ve had over 200 accepted by anthologies, e-zines, school textbooks and women’s magazines all over the world.

I was overall winner of the 2003 Real Writers International short story competition; short-listed for the International section in 2004.

My book for teenagers “Nosipho and the King of Bones”  was published in 2000 by MacMillan SA.

A Patchwork Quilt, a collection of my short stories, was published by LuLu.com in 2005.

Heart of Africa, a large print (Linford romance series) published by Ulverscroft Press 2007

Coming soon to a bookseller near you is: Campaign for Love -  People’s Friend Library 2007 

One of these days I’ll write the next big novel to come out of Africa!

I am also a copywriter, so if you want a few well-chosen words on just about anything, email me: ginny@ginnyswart.com
