About
Monique Carrie

Building different worlds through writing is what I do best. I escape, create, and along the way, I gain a better understanding of myself and the world around me. When you take past experience and mix it with imagination, it’s healing. It’s real. It’s alive.

Poems

I’ve been writing poetry for as long as I can remember. Poetry is both beautiful and a powerful form of expression, but the main reason that it fascinates me so much are all of its hidden meanings. When you read my poems, they’re going to bring up memories or feelings from your own life, which means every person has their own unique experience while reading them.

Novels

Writing novels can be a journey in itself. You get to travel down a new path and see what lies ahead of you every time your sit in front of the blank page. What I love most about it, though, are those times when things don’t go according to plan – the twists in my story that surprise me, as much as the readers. All because I let my characters live. 

And More...

I am a young author who is exploring what I love to write, whilst developing my own unique style. As part of this adventure, I have been working on a few projects that I can’t wait to share with you. 

From The Stage to the Page

You might wonder who I am, which is a great question.

I am an author, bookworm, and animal lover who loves sharing her everyday stories, poems and books. 

As a nine-year-old, I started my creative career as an aspiring ballerina. But when that wasn’t enough for me to express myself fully, I grew my skills and became a professional actor.

Where did writing fit in all of this?

Around 11, like all teenagers who feel that nobody loves and understands them, I started pouring my soul into the page.  With time I grew the courage to publish online some of my poems until I found a mentor who guided me into my first steps as an author and urged me to be better. It turned out, that people enjoyed my work, and after publishing my first book at age 22 while still in drama school – it was clear: writing is not just a hobby; it was going to be my life.

Tales from a foreigner

Immigrating to the UK right as BREXIT was voted on, I didn’t have an easy time in being accepted. Nevertheless, this gave me a unique perspective of both Eastern and Western ways of life – my storytelling is rich with knowledge from two culturally different worlds.

I believe in celebrating positivity, creativity, and individuality. We can be our most empowered selves by following our passions. There are many paths to success in this world; mine might not look like yours but we share the same underlying goal: being able to thrive on our own terms without restrictions or fear of judgement.

The world needs more love, you and I are the poet to bring it.
