Carly Waddleton

Carly lives in Christchurch New Zealand with her kids, husband and fish. Originally from Lincoln, United Kingdom, she moved to New Zealand in 2009, and despite earthquakes, fires and the challenges of a pandemic, she still loves to call New Zealand home.

She has been twisting words into stories and poetry since she was little, and had her first poem published, an unusual tale of a bee, when she was 8. Since then, she has had many poems published in anthologies and pamphlets.
