I am a first-class graduate, writer and project editor. I enjoy all sorts of writing, and read an array of fiction and non-fiction. My passion for the industry started young, I began writing poetry and short stories in primary school, and later had feature articles published in a local newspaper whilst completing my English A-levels. I have also since developed copy-editing and proofreading skills professionally, previous roles include: Project Editor restructuring and formatting legal content for an online government platform, Digital Content Editor for a local firm, Marketing and Comms for a local diversity charity, a tennis club and various other businesses. 

I am very open-minded and am particularly passionate about women’s issues. I am a campaigner for women’s rights and sexual equality, an LGBTQ activist, a law student, a believer in human rights, anti-abuse and equalitarian society, a cat lover and, of course, a writer. I have many interests including current affairs, gender and LGBTQ issues, culture and lifestyle, beauty, music, body art and anything creative including modelling and photography.

When possible I love to read, especially fiction and modern psychology, and I enjoy many genres of writing, from crime thrillers to romance to fantasy. Some of my favourite fantasy authors include Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, J.K. Rowling, Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts; and admired feminist thinkers are Germaine Greer (The Female Eunuch), Judith Butler (Gender Trouble/Undoing Gender), Kate Bornstein (Gender Outlaw), Joan Nestle (GenderQueer), J. Jack Halberstam (Female Masculinity), and Caitlin Moran (How to be a Woman).

My current favourite thriller is The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson,  I also love his other books, particularly Her Every Fear and The Girl With A Clock For A Heart.  Other recent favourite books in this genre are: The Widow by Fiona Barton, Apple Tree Yard by Louise Doughty; Sharp Objects, Dark Places and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, Disclaimer by Renee Knight, The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, and Dead Simple by Peter James.

Previous literary experiences include writing feature articles for the Jersey Evening Post’s Reality magazine, Gallery Magazine, Town Crier local magazine, and the Jersey Post; and digital marketing, content editing and social media services for a local charity and business to promote services and raise brand awareness. I also have a number of ongoing literary projects including a novel I am currently working on and a growing anthology of poetry.

I intend to use this blog to share all things literary, as well as documenting my journey as a writer and author, and will include any useful tips and advice. I will also recommend any books, movies, or blogs that I come across; as well as providing inspirational quotes, articles, info, short stories and much more… watch this space!
