Author biography

Sharon Mail, born and living in Glasgow, Scotland, is an author, freelance writer and editor.

She began her professional writing career in January, 2006 when she became a full-time journalist for the Jewish Telegraph Group of Newspapers and has continued to write for the paper on a freelance basis since 2009, when her book We Could Possibly Comment – Ian Richardson Remembered was published.

A member of Strathkelvin Writers since 2003, Sharon has run writing workshops, given talks and adjudicated competitions. In 2008, she won the Writers’ Summer School Diamond Anniversary Article Competition. She also writes fiction.

In 2018, she was appointed regional coordinator for the Association of Jewish Refugees My Story project. This involved developing books on the individual stories of Holocaust survivors, including interviewing, proofreading, and copy editing. Unfortunately, due to lockdown following the outbreak of Covid, the project was cancelled, and she was made redundant in 2020. She has returned to writing freelance for the Jewish Telegraph.

Sharon completed an online Proof Reading and Copy Editing course with the College of Media and Publishing in February, 2023 and has started a freelance editing service, completing the copy edit of three fiction novels to date.
