Literary Agent:    n/a

Jan Woolf is the author of Fugues On A Funny Bone, a collection of linked stories inspired by a London pupil referral unit, with accompanying images by sculptor Richard Niman. 'If that sounds worthy or didactic, it isn't. The language is beautiful - Jan Woolf is a painter, and her love of imagery comes through in the writing. . . She has also worked with troubled children, and her empathy for them also comes through in the stories.' Helen Smith Jan has also read much of her own work, often with actors, most recently at the Freud Museum and the ICA, and held the first Harold Pinter Writers' residency at the Hackney Empire, where her play Porn Crackerswas directed and produced by Ruth Boswell. She is a critic, reviewer and editor, and has published various pieces of journalism, drawn from a life of political activism and teaching. 'Writing can be a lightning conductor; you've seen this or that - thought the other, so what do you do with it? Decide on its form and then craft it. I've been taught by some very good people. . .' . . .not least by kids from the Stockwell Park Estate and Lambeth's Summer University, where Jan taught the Arts Award in creative writing as director of Rootball Writers. She is also a long time campaigner and accomplished events producer. As a beneficiary of the British welfare state, she is passionate about the right for all to develop educationally and culturally, and she coordinated the successful Free For All Museums campaign in 1998. She's now working on a novel and is an active member of the Writers Guild of Great Britain Books Committee, setting up and chairing Off the Shelf at Blacks - a writers development programme www.writersguild.org.uk
