Hi! 

I'm Jo. I’m a senior copywriter, content strategist, editor, poet, carbohydrate connoisseur, compulsive crime documentary binger and the person responsible for around 29% of worldwide google searches for ‘is my cat mad at me and why’ (no you’re an anxious first-time cat owner).

I live in Southeast London and can usually be found tottering around the local area, either buckling under the weight of another inadvisably large houseplant I’ve bought, limping due to the inadvisably small (but on sale) shoes I've been unable to resist, or stopping for an in-depth chat with every dog and/or cat that crosses my path. 

I graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2013 with a first in BA English Literature with Creative Writing. My degree entailed an awful lot of writing, and I - unable to break the habit - have carried on writing more or less ever since. I completed an MA in Creative Writing at Goldsmiths in 2019, and copywise I've produced B2B and B2C content across multiple digital, OOH and offline platforms for a variety of clients, covering sectors ranging from real estate, finance and tech, to lifestyle, travel, cuisine and more.

I also write quite a bit of fiction and poetry in my spare time. Some of it has been published, including my debut poetry collection ‘Other Troubled Creatures’, which is out now from Bare Fiction Press (and available here). You can check out some more of my creative writing projects and commissions here if you're interested. As of April 2019, I am represented by the literary agency Janklow & Nesbitt.
