MAKARELLE SUMMER 22 WAS OUR LAST ISSUE

Helena Nwaokolo

(she/her)

Having recently published her first novel, Helena has now begun research for her next. Meanwhile she

has enjoyed writing some short stories and a few more poems.

Helena lives on the Essex coast in a small town with a strong creative vibe running through it. As a

(quite) mature student, she gained an MA in Creative Writing some years ago and recently became re-

motivated through a short online course run by the National Centre for Writing in Norwich.
