Mary Cooper, writer
Mary originally trained as a newspaper journalist. Now she writes for stage, radio and screen, as well as writing poetry and narrative text.
"
Her work ranges from historical dramas for BBC Radio Four, and poetry to celebrate the centenary of a tramway, to a book of stories based on the contemporary lives of families on an estate in West Yorkshire.
Whatever the style and form of my work, I aim for authenticity, emotional truthfulness, strong characterisation and engaging stories. In all my work, I strive to say less and mean more; to use powerful language with economy and precision.
