About Joan Small

Joan Small is an author, a poet, a speaker and website designer. She has been captivating audiences and readers with her friendly engaging style for more than twenty years.

Joan was born in Western Australia, but spent most of her life in the Northern Territory, living in the small town of Tennant Creek where she married and raised her three sons.

Living in the Australian outback didn't limit Joan, who was actively involved in many organisations as well as moving through different careers of teaching, politics, tourism and her own business. Through all of these she used her writing skills, branching out into poetry in the late 1990's.

In 2001 Joan moved to the Gold Coast where she became involved in a business group, International Toastmasters and the Gold Coast Writers Association.

Joan's passion for helping people to be energised and enjoy life, and her love of all things Australian from the Outback to the Ocean are evidenced in her writings.
