How one Chelmsford author is using her books for good

Humans of Chelmsford

In this episode of Humans of Chelmsford we are joined by author Phyllida Shrimpton.
In February of this year Phyllida’s debut novel – the aptly-named Sunflowers in February – hit the bookshelves.
Despite only becoming an author relatively recently ideas and stories have always been floating around her head.
But there is much more to Phyllida than just being a writer – there is a burning desire to help and understand people.
She has a particular interest in helping the homeless – an issue that has become more prevalent with each passing day – and she has also helped people with Asperger’s Syndrome.
These two aspects will feature prominently in her next two books as Phyllida tries to use her material to spread a message while also underlying the importance storytelling has in society.
