Debra Bertulis

Debra Bertulis has been a writer of poetry, plays and stories since she was very young. When she was ten, her mother bought her a typewriter to type her stories on and she’s been writing ever since. Her poems appear in many antholgies as well as on the LAMDA examination syllabus and are performed at Festivals across the world. Her debut collection of children’s poetry Where Do Wishes Go was published in 2022 by Otter-Barry Books.

Debra describes inspiring children to engage with poetry in schools as her ‘dream job.’ In addition to schools, Debra has given workshops in libraries, Dementia Units as well as at the famous Poetry Pharmacy in Bishop’s Castle, Shropshire.
