Words for Harriet Mills have always been key. Whether she is reading about writing, losing herself in fiction or writing more – words are a fundamental aspect to her days. Since she was young she knew that she wanted to write. During her travels aged nineteen and twenty-two she recorded main events on her blog and to this day she continues to record weekly snippets of life. She didn’t necessarily know what area she would go into, in fact novels were probably towards the bottom of her expectations until she discovered the joy of writing them.
Her debut novel Dear Brannagh was released in November 2020 and has been well received. Don’t Tell Jack is Harriet’s second novel which is a follow on to her debut but can also be read as a standalone. Both novels encompass the complicated web of family dynamics from the youngest perspective in life to the oldest.
Aside from both novels, Harriet wishes to expand her writing experience further and she has recently written short stories for competition entries and continues to produce weekly content for her blog. These blog posts come in the form of writing related articles portraying her personal experience of life as an aspiring writer, as well as poetry, and extracts from her novels and short stories, showcasing her fictional work.
Throughout her publishing experience with Dear Brannagh, she began a series on her blog which depicted her publishing journey and provided others with an understanding into the publishing world if anyone is interested or thinking of going down that route. All posts begin My Publishing Journey...
She also writes a newsletter every two weeks to those on her mailing list. You can subscribe to this at the bottom of any page on her website to gain an insight into the honest life of a young writer.

She writes to entertain; she writes to progress; she writes for therapy; she writes to help others; she writes to help herself; but her ultimate wish is for everybody reading her writing to enjoy it and take from it what they intended to take.
