Writing

Right from before I could really read or write I have always said that I wanted ‘to work in the media’ I always assumed that this would mean being some kind of writer as that was the form of ‘media’ I had ready access to and was able to start doing at home without a need for any fancy, expensive equipment. As it happened radio broadcasting became more accessible to me when I was older and I also enjoy this but I have always written. I may not be the most thrilling or polished writer or always spell things correctly but I have been told that what I write is enjoyable and informative and this has always been a great encouragement (who doesn't like it when people say nice things about them!).

Below is a list of things I have written and had published, hopefully I will be adding more to it soon, and below that is a list of things I have written and published myself. Please contact me if you would like anymore details about any of these.
