Deborah Durbin

I was recently interviewed by the DWPub - a directory for journalists, editors and PR people - about my work as a journalist. You can read my interview below:

What do you write about?

I specialise mainly in women's lifestyle/health features, mind, body and spirit and education features.

Where are we likely to see your work?

I write regularly for It's Fate, Fate & Fortune, Prediction (a regular,monthly horoscope in Native American Astrology) and have recently written for High Spirit, Natural Health and an educational book for Hodder.

What's the most memorable work you've done?

Writing a feature about Cellular Memory - when organ transplant patients adopt their donor's traits and personalities.

How would you pay the bills if you weren?t a journalist?

I would probably be doing something to do with forensics or criminal profiling.

If we gave you £1,000, how would you spend it?

That's very nice of you, thank you! I would probably buy a new laptop because my daughter has hijacked mine.

What books are on your bedside table, magazines in your bag, or blogs on your screen?

Books: Nick Hornby's, A Long Way Down and How to be Good by Carole Matthews, The Chocolate Lovers' Diet.Richard Wilson's, Can't be Arsed.
