About me
I'm an MA Publishing graduate with a BA in Creative Writing & Journalism from the University of Roehmapton. Currently a publishing assistant for Aurora Metro and a monthly contributor for VoiceMag UK. I write about everything from culture and lifestyle, to current social problems (like homelessness), theatre and entertainment. I've freelanced for The Bookseller, and I'm looking for a new opportunity in, but not limited to, journalism and publishing.
