Silvia has a background in academia and social science
research and was a freelance editorial script advisor for children’s television
for a number of years. Her debut novel, Your Move, was published in 2017.  Silvia has an MA in Creative Writing
and teaches at the Open University. She was born in Italy, but brought up on
the south coast of England by her mother and grand-mother. She has two daughters,
two step-daughters and three granddaughters. With an abundance of women and
girls in her life, it’s not surprising that female relationships, family, love
and friendship are frequently the focus of Silvia’s writing.
