Deborah M.Hodgetts

A little bit about me the poet…

Hi my name is Deborah Hodgetts; I am a published poet and also write a successful blog called ‘The Beautiful Music of Words’.

I live in a leafy village in the glorious countryside of Buckinghamshire, surrounded by beautiful nature, which always provides an abundance of creativity and inspiration.

I have been writing poems and stories since the age of 7, after being greatly inspired by my wonderful mum who used to skilfully write amazing poems and stories, which she regularly read in competitions around my hometown of Staffordshire.
I guess my love of words and writing started here, and grew like a flower.

So here I am a poet/writer and Screenwriter eager to bring my gift of writing, and creativity to the masses.
I would love to inspire a new generation, and touch the crustiest of hearts through my love of poetry and stories.

My prime objective being to hopefully make a difference in the world with the words I write.
