    English speaking

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 recently completed a BA in Professional Writing at University with a First Class honours degree. The course covered all aspects of professional writing including script writing, research and observation, prose, sequential art (comic books to you and me), 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 in 2015 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 35), and it was a decision that was influenced by becoming a parent. I have a five-year-old son and a devoted husband. 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 also gained employment through writing agencies Search Sciences, Grammar Girls, BayBets, Blue Penguin SEO and Catena Media covering a wide range of writing topics. I have now also gained a steady stream of work on people per hour since I joined a few years back. 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 proof reading.

    Before my previous retail role, I worked for the DWP for six years on various tasks dealing with everyone from employers advertising vacancies to people wishing to report benefit fraud to immigrants requiring assistance with national insurance applications. I liaised with various DWP sites throughout the UK, helped manage a database and provided administrative support to over 200 people on site. I also provided a proof reading service to the 100+ staff on site for their job descriptions. Time management was essential, and strict deadlines were often involved. I am used to juggling many tasks at the same time successfully. This is also reflected in my private life as a mother, student, and self-employed worker.

    I had other administrative roles before my time at the DWP, dealing with telephone calls, sorting mail, word processing sensitive legal documents and other general administrative tasks as required.

    I thank you for looking at my profile. I know that making a decision about who writes for you is a difficult one. Will the writer get the style right? Will they use the keywords you were hoping to put in the piece to make it pop? Will the writing suck? So to make it easier for you to see if we'll click, I've added a small portfolio of some of the work I've done. It's not exhaustive, and I can write a wider variety of styles, but I've included the basics. There are a couple of university analytical pieces in there too, simply because I wanted also to show a formal style of writing. There are also three pieces aimed at children aged between seven and nine, which I had great fun researching. The things I could tell you about bodily fluids and invisible ink methods...anyway, I digress.

    If you'd like to hire me, that's fantastic! I always look forward to new projects, the trickier, the better. I promise to give you the best piece of work I can produce. Well researched, well organised and hopefully at a competitive price. Everything I earn on PPH is going towards providing a better life for my family and is one of several sources of writing income for me.

    Anna.
