Welcome to the home of Angela Atkins, her books, training and more….

At my Management Bites book launch, signing 70 books. It was a brilliant evening!

Hi I’m Angela. I fell in love with books when I was young, and wrote my first novel at age 14 (yes it was bad, and yes I do still have all 1,000 pages stuffed in the back of my wardrobe).

I kept writing and managed to build a career with writing in it. Working in HR / Learning & Development, I wrote newsletters, policies, training materials and guides for managers and employees. In 2006 I co-founded Elephant Group and started getting articles published. Then I wrote a book about managing a team. I sent it HarperCollins and they said yes to publishing it! My dream of becoming a published author came true!

Since then I’ve had four Bites books published (two becoming best-sellers), as well as my first novel Britpop Summer. I’ve got many more books on the way (and I need to stop starting new ones and get others finished). Now as well as training thousands of people through Elephant Group, I also help writers find success. I hope you have fun exploring my website, and that I can help you too – whether it’s with writing, HR or people management. If you have any questions do let me know.

Fiction

Britpop Summer defines Gen X in the nineties. It follows a group of 20 something friends hanging out. But will they get pulled into boomer life?

I’m currently working on Live Forever, the sequel to Britpop Summer about when you’re turning 50. What comes next for Gen X and future generations?

In January 2024, I started a writers group in Seville. This is a collection from them, of short stories, poems and novel excerpts, as well as ideas for other writing groups to use!
