''He followed up with an email about how rude I was not to reply (sigh!). The words were "manners cost nothing". The poem numb has attracted a lot of these trolls though,'' She says, referencing the abuse mentioned above.

She adds that she is not alone in this, which is why she feels the need to stand up for other women.
'' [It's] the fact that I am constantly seeing other female writers plagued online by these kinds of people. I think it's important to speak up - because so many people don't realise it happens to other people too. If I didn't follow other female writers, I might sit and read his email and rethink my life. But the power of knowing it's not just you and that it's a bigger problem, makes it both necessary and easier to stand up to them.''You can listen to the original poem, Numb, below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT5yw1X-ncQ
