I'm a freelance writer specialising in: - creative writing - ghostwriting - writing for children - educational materials (particularly primary school, or TEFL) - article writing - travel writing - editing and proofreading I graduated from Bath Spa University in 2011 with 1st class hons in Creative Writing and English, after which I spent five years living in Asia (China and Japan) where I was working as a freelance writer and TEFL teacher. These days I am a frequent contributor to several TEFL and travel websites. As an experienced language teacher, I specialise in working with those who use English as a second language. I also have much experience of materials with children as their target audience (as I have worked with many different textbooks during my time as a teacher, as well as making my own graded materials and specialising in writing for children during my time at University) and so any creative writing, editing or article writing to do with children would be my cup of tea. I pride myself in sticking to deadlines, working professionally and neither overselling nor underselling my abilities. I have an excellent command of the English language and also speak basic Chinese and Japanese. Contracts I love include: - writing stories for children, ghostwriting children's books and creating educational materials. Whether it's creating a modern version of a well-known folk story or creating original content on a chosen theme, ghostwriting for children is my specialist topic - writing colloquial, easy-to-read travel articles, especially with listicle features and awesome destinations (I specialise in Japan, China, and the UK - particularly my niche of the Channel Islands) - I'm always interested in long-term, professional contracts with top clients If you are interested in hiring me to help with your projects, please get in contact. I look forward to hearing from you.

"Writing stories for children to love." I am a published children’s book author who has been writing for children for over 30 years. It is my joy and passion to write books, stories, and articles for kids that uplift, entertain, educate, and edify. Many people think writing for children is easy, that all you have to do is “dumb down” the language for kids to understand. On the contrary, there are many things to consider when writing for children that some writers don’t know or think about. Children are a discerning audience, and they deserve respect. A 2,000-word picture book for children 4-8 years old is probably not going to sell to publishers. Why? Because the typical children’s picture book is only about 500 words, 1,000 words at the most. (Of course, if you're self-publishing, you're free to break the rules.) If you want to author a rhyming children’s book, make sure the rhyme is perfect (think Dr. Seuss); otherwise, don’t bother. These are just a few things to consider; there are more. A well-written, engaging story is what children (and parents) look for. As an experienced children’s writer and editor, I can help your story stand out from the rest. Making you look good with a job well done is my ultimate reward. That's my idea of success.
