My GCSE English coursework folder was filled to bursting with enthusiastically written essays and stories. My writing has always been inspired by my love of music. As a sixth former, I listened to ‘Outside Inside’ by the Levellers and Paul appeared in my head: a vegan who inherits his uncle’s butcher’s van. I went to university in Sheffield to study English Literature, and I concentrated on having fun for a few years. But the characters from my novel were demanding to be written about, coming to life. Life kept intervening, but I began working hard, writing in my spare time. In 2010, I graduated from the Writing MA at Sheffield Hallam University. I had finally finished my first novel, ‘Outside Inside’. A few edits later, and here it is! I left my full time job in 2013 to launch a freelance writing business, Wild Rosemary Writing Services, and I love helping people to tell their stories. I still live in Sheffield, and I love it. In the summer, you’ll find me at music festivals, volunteering for Oxfam.lihat lebih sedikit
