About Me
Biography
I'm a freelancer with 8 years of experience crafting traffic-generating content for amazing tech companies and digital magazines.
I grew up in the British countryside, where boredom kick-started an obsession with writing and literature. After graduating with a BA in Creative Writing and Publishing, I became a freelance writer — later developing skills in content marketing and SEO. These days, I run my company from a seaside town in Sweden.

Bath Spa University
( 2013 — 2016 )BA (Hons) Publishing with Creative Writing
My education at Bath Spa University focused on the development of key skills and knowledge in writing, editing, and publishing across a variety of genres. Industry experts tutored me in fiction, poetry, copywriting, journalism, press releases, opinion pieces, travel writing, and more. With my peers, I also worked on several large-scale projects, including:
- Immerse Magazine: Yasmin Brookes and I created, designed, wrote, edited, typeset, and printed the first issue of a gaming art and soundtrack magazine. 32 pages long and crafted in InDesign from scratch, this was a large and ambitious undertaking that tested every ounce of our project management, collaboration, and technical skills.
- Creative Monsters: Our chance to give back. A small group of peers and I fundraised, designed, and printed a mini-booklet, with proceeds going to The Children's Society. With contributions from local children as well as award-winning authors Brandon Sanderson and Jonathan Stroud, our publication explored the universal fear: the monster under the bed.
- Milk Magazine: During my time at Bath Spa, I was the commissioning editor for games at our university magazine, Milk. As well as writing and editing content, I managed a small team of writers and conducted in-person interviews.
Alongside my skills in content writing, web copywriting, editing, and SEO optimization/outreach, I have experience with the above applications and services.

FAQ
Questions & Answers
Are there any topics/services that are off-limits?
I do not work with companies promoting gambling, cryptocurrency IPOs, or scams. You should also understand that my role is generally to grow traffic and improve rankings via written content and page optimization. You should not expect me to produce videos, write e-commerce product descriptions, or hold the sole responsibility for your SEO strategy.
Do you write webpage/landing page copy?
Yes! It's not my specialty, but I've written and updated various landing pages and a couple of homepages. You can consider it a part of my skillset, but not my primary focus.
Can I pay you per article/blog/project?
Generally, I'm looking for long-term positions that pay hourly. However, I may be able to make exceptions if your project pays well and can guarantee a minimum threshold of work that meets my needs.
