I attended Roehampton University and graduated with a Creative writing BA (Without honours). This course lasted 3 years and included various writing modules including; the business of writing, introduction to copywriting, introduction to screenwriting, and the business of publishing.

These modules have given me an insight into the writing industry as well as the various career paths I could take. The skills I expanded on are; editing, proofreading/writing. Writing has always been something I’ve really been passionate about, I started writing short stories at the age of 12 and over the years I tried various forms of writing which eventually led me to screenwriting as well as poetry. I can also write articles and do blog posts. Over the 3 year creative writing course, I picked up a lot of transferable skills that I believe will be useful for future career paths within the writing space. I was exposed to a range of writing mediums during the course and was informed of the requirements and what it takes to write in ‘industry standards’. My lecturers were all professionals with highly credible experience within various writing industry mediums and this really helped my development as an aspiring writer due to their methods and approach.
