Description
Sue Tredget began writing several years ago when she took a year off to replenish her spirit after experiencing some troubled times. This collection of poems was written as a companion book to her very personal memoir, Changing Lightbulbs: a journey through anxiety and depression . While Sue’s poems were born out of grief, loss and despair, they were written with love, joy and hope, hence the title, Transformation. In writing both prose and poetry Sue discovered the healing power of words and was able to give creative expression to her emotions. Sue is also a language teacher and the author of the children’s picture book series, My Colour Collection . She grew up in Northern Ireland and now lives in Perth, Western Australia.

Person
Sue Tredget grew up in Northern Ireland and studied Modern Languages at Leeds University. She lived and worked in France, Spain and England before moving to Perth, Western Australia in 1999. In 2014, Sue took a break from teaching to write and travel following a difficult period. She stayed at a retreat in India, travelled solo around Italy and walked part of the Camino de Santiago, among other adventures. After a year of healing and self-discovery she returned to education on a more flexible basis and became a Beyond Blue speaker to share her experience with depression and anxiety and help raise awareness around mental health. Sue continues to teach French and Spanish part-time and writes whenever she can. She has two grown-up children and lives near the ocean with her cycling crazy husband and her cavoodle.
