Hello, and thank you for visiting my website. I'm Jacqueline Ward, a novelist from the North West of England, passionate about crafting stories that delve into the human condition. My writing often explores themes of identity, transformation, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.
I love writing writing about magical realism and complex, resilient female protagonists.
I love writing about the past, and my current narratives intertwine past and present.
I am also a psychologist with a PhD in identity and narrative, and I was awarded an MBE in 2013 for services to vulnerable people, where I worked with groups and families focused on narratives and storytelling.
I am represented by Danielle Marshall at Jane Rotrosen Agency, New York.
My books...
Many of my novels have been reviewed nationally in The Literary Review, The Daily Mail and other publications. How to Play Dead was included on the 16 Days of WA Against Domestic Abuse on 2022 curriculum reading list.
You can find them all in my book store - most of them are available in ebook, paperback and audiobook. I hope you enjoy them.
My writing life...
I love writing. I've been writing since I was in primary school, and since then, stories and creativity have been at the forefront of my life.
I also love connecting with readers, so please do drop me a line or comment on my Facebook, Threads, Insta or Tiktok.
I write novels with a subtext of the human condition - how we live in the world, how it affects us and how we understand our lives.
My current projects...
My current novel focuses on truth and magic, and how unspoken messages can transcend time. I'm enjoying working with strong characters and stories that transform their lives.
I'm currently researching an area of Manchester called Ancoats which will be the backdrop to my new novel.
I also work with people to generate ideas for their novels and screenplays and to help them navigate the world of publishing. I work in an advisory role online or in person depending on location.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you will join me on this journey - I appreciate all feedback, and I would love it if you could leave a review when you have finished reading my books.
