Great Lumley, United Kingdom
Hi, I'm Jo. I love creative writing, crafting and horse riding. I started writing for my friends as part of a writing circle at university (I have a BA in Archaeology and an MA in museum studies) and went on to self published the result. After university I put writing on hold and worked in administration for eight years before leaving when I had my first daughter. After she was born I took up writing again and penned my first children's book (illustrated by my father). Since then I have gone on to write two further picture books and a short chapter book for children, all of which available on Amazon. More recently I've ghostwritten several children's books and stories for Upwork clients and began to work on a few YA fiction projects too. I have written product descriptions before for Etsy items and also worked on display descriptions in a museum setting, created quizzes and meditations. My current published works - - Squirly Squirrel - There's a Dinosaur in my Soup - T-rex ate my toothbrush - A Pup Called Shaefer - Quest for the Dragon's Eye (under pen name)

Whitchurch, United Kingdom
My love of prose and fictional worlds led me to study for a bachelor's Degree in English and Writing, followed by a Master's Degree in Creative Writing. I chose to be a freelance writer because I enjoy using my skills to create quality work for my clients, whether this is writing outlines or bringing fictional ideas to life. Regardless of what the project consists of, I value how important words are and how, when used correctly, they hold the power to leave an imprint. I have plenty of experience in creating new places, people, and events, as Iโve worked on projects from short stories to an ongoing book series, from childrenโs fiction to stories for adults, and from science fiction to thrillers. Whether you need assistance with your story arc, character development, the creation of your story, or youโre just after someone to glance over your work and advise, then I can assist with this. My fascination with creating new worlds and my intrigue with all things dystopia have led me to write three young adult science fiction novels. To me writing isnโt just work, itโs also my passion, hobby, and purpose. I reside in the UK but am proficient at writing in both British English and American English. Above all else, Iโm professional, friendly, quick to respond, and full of creative ideas that I want to unleash.
