My name is Jon, and I’m a freelance writer.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved writing.

My dad spent thirty-five years as an English teacher, and I used to go into his school (when my own was closed for training) and watch him teach classes of much older children. I was also a voracious reader, and when this early appetite was combined with my academic journey, it instilled in me a real love for the written word.

Since graduating in 2014, my words have been read (or heard!) by hundreds of thousands of people. I’ve had the privilege of working on many different projects, from writing blogs and advertising copy for large corporate clients to co-writing a script for a major theatre production. Since toured across the UK, the show has also performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Off-Broadway in New York City.

I’ve always believed that the key to writing good content is just like the key to writing a good song – if you make it relatable, interesting, and engaging, then your audience will take care of the rest.

While I am trained in SEO, I’m a firm believer that if you don’t give your audience a really good reason to carry on reading, you might as well have not bothered putting the metaphorical pen to paper.

As such, quality, concise work that is entertaining and informative to read is always my goal.
