My name is Annie Hope. I am a writer with lived experience as a family member of someone who has had The Knock.
I have an interest in representation of families of offenders in art and literature.
In a previous capacity, I have campaigned to highlight the situation faced by families affected by the fallout of The Knock. My work has been used by charaties, featured anonymously in the media (including the BBC) and referred to by MPs in parliamentary debate.
You can find my blog here: https://anniehopeauthor.wordpress.com
I hope that this blog will evolve and grow over time, will be enlightening, though provoking and helpful to anyone with an interest in reading about underrepresented people, reading for healing, and to anyone who would like to learn more about writing.
