Creative writer with experience in children's fiction

Hi, I'm Jo. I love creative writing, crafting and horse riding. I started writing for my friends as part of a writing circle at university (I have a BA in Archaeology and an MA in museum studies) and went on to self published the result. After university I put writing on hold and worked in administration for eight years before leaving when I had my first daughter. After she was born I took up writing again and penned my first children's book (illustrated by my father). Since then I have gone on to write two further picture books and a short chapter book for children, all of which available on Amazon. More recently I've ghostwritten several children's books and stories for Upwork clients and began to work on a few YA fiction projects too. I have written product descriptions before for Etsy items and also worked on display descriptions in a museum setting, created quizzes and meditations. My current published works - - Squirly Squirrel - There's a Dinosaur in my Soup - T-rex ate my toothbrush - A Pup Called Shaefer - Quest for the Dragon's Eye (under pen name)
