Hello! I'm Mollie Cohen - a writer from London. Quite a lot of my work-based experience is in technical writing from the construction industry, however, I've always tried to keep writing creatively simultaneously on the side which I have been doing at FLO London for the past year or so. FLO London is a start up online publication which seeks to highlight all the great stuff going on in London - with a great travel section too. I largely write lifestyle posts, book reviews and gig reviews.
I have a 2:1 degree in English Literature and History which I enjoyed studying for immensely. I adore being challenged and getting my teeth stuck into a new topic or area of interest - hence why I became so absorbed in the construction industry, as there was so much for me to learn and discover.
Books and literature are a huge part of my life, as well as music, film, fashion, beauty and food and so lots of my work also covers these topics. Otherwise, I like messing around with make up, baking cakes and going for long walks with a podcast shoved in my ears.
