The people behind it

Meet Colleen

Poetry came first; memoir, travel writing, short fiction, crime and horror followed along the way. Her collections Time Like Coins and Called to Coddiwomple are out through Ginninderra Press.

She lives on the road in a campervan called Trevor, with Winter the greyhound, and offers author talks, writing workshops and mentoring wherever she stops.

The old domain lapsed

Her Squarespace address, colleenmoyne.com, couldn’t be recovered, so the site started again on colleenmoyne.com.au.

The problem

The old address was gone

Colleen’s old site was on Squarespace, and she found it hard to manage from the road.

Then its address, colleenmoyne.com, lapsed and couldn’t be recovered, so the site had to start again on a new domain, colleenmoyne.com.au. We recovered her old words, so nothing she had written was lost.

The solution

A personal, literary site she can update from anywhere

A personal, literary site: a page for each book (Called to Coddiwomple and Time Like Coins), her publications list, author talks and writing workshops, and News & Stories.

Colleen posts news and photos herself, wherever Trevor is parked, with a simple editor that can email her a sign-in code.

Getting found

The book pages carry the ISBN and publisher details as structured data, so search engines know exactly which book is which.
