About Wendy Hughes
Wendy Hughes turned to writing in 1989 when ill health and poor vision forced her into early
medical retirement. Between then and her death in January 2019 twenty-six non-fiction books and
over 1700 articles, on a variety of subjects were published. Her work appeared in magazines as
diverse as The Lady, Funeral Service Journal, On the Road, 3 rd Stone, Celtic Connections, Best of British
and Guiding.
For many years Wendy campaigned and wrote tirelessly on behalf of people affected by Stickler
Syndrome, a disorder from which she suffered. She founded the Stickler Syndrome Support Group
and raised awareness of the condition amongst the medical profession and produced the group’s
literature.
Additionally she gave talks and instruction on the craft of writing, was membership secretary of the
Society of Women Writers and Journalists, and was a member of the Society of Authors. Her catalogue of History Press publications is still available.
