Jo Whalley

Associate Facilitator Jo rekindled her passion for writing at the age of forty when as a volunteer radio producer for Gaydio she began by writing programme briefs.

Her writing journey and journalistic approach continued with her radio play, the true story of a male rape survivor who contracted HIV in the 90s.

Jo’s creative writing started with a flash fiction piece about Tinnitus which will be published in Commonword’s forthcoming anthology Indivisible.

She likes working with artists and enjoys reformatting her writing to create new homes for her work. She also enjoys reading her work out at events.
