A writer with a twist. British and a friend of America. Let me write your article, whatever the topic.

I have had a love of writing for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would write short stories for my parents (the comedy tale of a bank robber and his ditzy female accomplice was a favourite of Dad's), and I guess the love has never really left me. I am currently studying a BA in Professional Writing at University and am in my third year with all 'First' standard results so far. The course covers all aspects of professional writing including script writing, research and observation, prose, sequential art (comic books to you and I), and non-fiction, with the latter being my particular speciality. I do love a challenge, though, so throw a curve ball job at me.

I left my job in retail two years ago to follow my dream to be a writer, so I'm looking to gain professional experience in the writing industry. I came late to my degree (I'm 33), and it was a decision that was influenced by becoming a parent. I have a three-year-old son and a devoted partner. Parenthood made me readdress my life to see how I could make sure I am a positive role model for my boy. This is why I am focused on succeeding as a writer, to show my son that with hard work and dedication, you can achieve your goals in life.

I have previous experience of feature writing in journalism, having worked on a voluntary basis for a local magazine called Insight. I may not have got paid, but the work at the magazine gave me a great deal of information on how a successful publication is produced and was totally invaluable. I have now also gained a steady stream of work on people per hour since I joined in 2015. This has given me a steep learning curve, as well as all important experience of working as a jobbing writer. There is still so much to learn, and I am enjoying every moment of working with clients and providing the best service I can for them while gaining experience in a wide range of fields including copywriting and proofreading.
