A Background Check

Amidst the press release samples and seemingly random articles which pop up on this blog I thought that I would provide you- the person who is considering hiring me, with some information about me- the person who would like to write for you.

Starting at the beginning, I was born in late 1980s southern England to a mother who was a freelance jeweller and a father who was a freelance technical author. My father in particular was, and still is very familiar with writing and the media, having worked in an Oxford publishing house in previous years.

I went through school at a satisfying pace, getting good marks along the way. Having gotten three qualifications at A level I decided to move to Wales and pursue a degree in Psychology and Philosophy. It was when I reached my second year that I realised this degree was most certainly not for me. For a while I struggled between trying to keep up with my course and deciding whether to give it up for a career in childcare, when shortly afterwards a friend very kindly introduced me to freelance writing.


Since that day I've been writing for clients globally, including the creative media agency Angry Ant Media. One day, I applied for a job writing press releases. I have to admit at this point I had no idea what a press release was but I was determined to try writing in every different format and on every different niche to find out what I was best at. I threw myself at the project and came off with only minor injuries. Overall it was a success and to this day I am writing Press Releases, improving ALL the time. I've learnt that there is an incredible amount to be learned about the media and the press, not to mention how these things work online.


So I have come to the present day, where I hesitate to say I'm standing but rather moving forward towards being a better Press writer and fulfilling my ultimate goal of simply being content. No pun intended.
