M.E

It started with a kiss

Although I don’t like to think about that

Because it’s my parents we’re talking about here

About 10 or so years after their first kiss

I arrived

On the same day and in the same year as Prince William

Three minutes before

Or three minutes after

I can never remember

For my efforts, or should I say my mothers

I received a leg of lamb, a pram and my name in the local newspaper

FAME

I hope that wasn’t my 15 minutes

I don’t even remember it

Anyway

I learnt to walk, talk and spell my name

As you do

And did the whole school thing

As you do

At some point during this time I discovered Nirvana

The band

Not the state of mind

And sported Curtains

I liked sport, especially football

But that got kicked into touch when I went to university

And discovered more important things

Like ‘studying’

And socializing

And turning my words into short stories

One day Don’t Panic published a short story I’d written

They’re a global marketing company so I was a bit chuffed

I haven’t looked back

But moved back home after university

Where I got my first proper job

And my first paycheck for doing something I rather enjoyed

Communicating

I also enjoyed visiting London so when my hometown started to feel a bit small

I stayed in London a bit longer

About 5 years longer to be precise

And counting

During that time I’ve pursued my passion for communicating

By shouting a lot

Not really

It’s been achieved through various jobs

As a Journalist

Online Editor

Communications Officer

And most recently as a Copywriter

I’ve written for a bunch of international magazines

On subjects like art and music

And interviewed people like Rachel Whiteread and Fleet Foxes

I’ve also written for various brands and helped develop various campaigns

STA Travel and Southern Comfort amongst others

My other interests include writing and performing music

My band’s called GLuE

I have two blogs and am quite sociable in terms of the media I use

To sum up

I’m a creative writer with substantial experience in both Journalism and Copywriting looking for my next step

I’ve a positive attitude

Good attention to detail

Am hungry to improve and develop

Have the ability to be creative and flexible

And am extremely interested in doing so for you
