Jasami Publishing is a dream come true. Working with new writers, and our young talented team is an inspiration on a daily basis. I have worked in international events and other creative projects throughout my life, but this is the most interesting challenge as it is a personal dedication. Publishing novels, children's stories, and photography books all the while working to provide funding to local charities and schools has been a life long aspiration, and I am delighted to be a part of this fantastic team.

Graduating in 2003 with a Bachelor of Accounting (Honours) degree from the University of Paisley, I have spent the past 15 years working in finance. A career path that was destined to be right from my youngest days where I always demonstrated a passion for counting money, especially my own! I have lived in Scotland all my days and have an affinity with several local charities. When not working my major passion is football, however, I also enjoy travelling and listening to music.

After completing a Joint Honours degree in English Literature and History at the University of Glasgow, I graduated in 2021 with an MLitt in Fantasy Literature from the same institution. I am fascinated by the interconnections between literature, history and myth, so this was a dream come true! Since then, I’ve been searching for opportunities to use everything I learned towards contributing to the creation of meaningful stories, so I am beyond thrilled to be part of the Jasami team. When not reading, I can be found writing, singing or in search of cats to pet.

From the age of 5, she used to tell her mother that all she wanted to do was read books for a living, and has been working hard ever since to ensure that her younger self gets exactly what she wanted. Jasami is her first internship in the publishing industry, and she is so excited to be able to contribute to the editorial process and join the family. In addition to reading, she spends her free time exploring her new home country, going to live concerts and running.

I previously studied Spanish at the University of Glasgow, and was lucky enough to spend a year enjoying the sun in Salamanca. After graduating in 2021, I realised that I wanted to explore something a bit different to Spanish, so I decided to apply for the MSc Publishing course at Edinburgh Napier University. Books have always been a huge part of my life, and I gradually discovered that I’d love to be involved in children’s publishing. I am thrilled to be joining the team at Jasami, and can’t wait to learn everything and anything I can about the industry. In addition to reading, I have a passion for music and like to spend my time attending gigs and discovering new bands.

In 2022 I graduated with a MSc in Creative Writing from the University of Edinburgh, after graduating with an MLitt in English Literature from the University of Glasgow. While being involved in publishing as an author and academic, I am excited to be given the opportunity of working at Jasami as an intern and gaining a better understanding of the publication industry. I admire and love the power of storytelling and my dream is to become an editor and help an author’s story be told. When I am not immersed within a book, you can find me writing, hiking, or watching movies.

I have recently graduted with an MSc in Literature from the University of Edinburgh. I have been involved with the publishing and literary world in various ways in the last few years: as an academic, as a reviewer, as an author and as a literary scout. As such, the opportunity to get involved directly in the publishing process as a Jasami intern will be yet another way to put my love for literature to practical use. I aspire to learn as much as I can about every facet of publishing - from reading through submitted manuscripts to organising book launch events. When I am not reading and editing, you can find me crocheting, knitting, baking or picking up yet another hobby.

I have a deep admiration for storytelling and discussing all things literary. I studied English at Edinburgh Napier University, graduating in 2022 with an even deeper love for literature and creativity. I am currently a full-time postgraduate student at Edinburgh Napier University studying MSc Publishing and excited to begin my journey into the publishing industry with Jasami. Out-with my university career, you can find me pouring your pints at a quiet pub in the city centre, catching up on the ‘to be read’ section of her bookcase, spending time with friends or watching movies (usually horror).
