Denise Fletcher

Based in Tasmania, Denise Fletcher spent nearly twenty years working at the heart of Australian politics – across the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Tasmanian House of Assembly. She advised a former President of the Senate, was a campaign strategist and team leader for backbenchers, headed media and communications for a shadow minister and held senior executive roles within a major political party – positions that gave her a front-row seat to power and policy. Unspoken is her debut novel – inspired by her years inside the corridors of power – and offers readers a rare glimpse behind the veil, into the people and pressures that shape political life. Before politics, Denise worked in corporate finance in Western Australia and was a teacher in Tasmania
