By January 2005 I'd sold my first article and by March I'd become a columnist and contributing editor at www.timetravel-britain.com.

In January 2006 I was asked to take on the role of managing editor at www.writing-world.com and in January 2007 I took over as editor of the newsletter.

To date, I've had over one hundred articles accepted for publication by a variety of magazines.

You see, with a bit of determination and a lot of hard work, you can make a career out of writing.

I still class myself as a newbie writer and I still have lots to learn, so I set up this site to help other newbie writers take their first steps into the writing world.
