I am an experienced Editor with a demonstrated history of working in the Children's education publishing industry. I specialise in working with texts for young people and young voices, whether it's poetry or an educational text or an animation. I have worked across large digital projects and print projects which include project management of audio recordings and digital formatting. I embrace my creative side through working with authors on their books and doing some writing of my own. With a passion for music journalism, travel and book reviews I am embarking on my own blog with which I hope to showcase my blog writing skills. Having been the editor-in-chief for a music magazine, I have skills in journalism, formatting WordPress blogs and writing opinion pieces.
