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.

I graduated with a BA in English Studies and Philosophy from the University of Stirling in 2018 before going on to teach English back in Bangkok, Thailand, where I picked up a few writing and editing jobs along the way. Since returning to Scotland, I’ve decided to pursue editing and my dreams of working within the publishing industry by starting as an intern here at Jasami. As someone who has always loved literature and languages, I am immensely excited for this opportunity to grow and work alongside their talented writers and team. Jasami email: soniafin.jpl@gmail.com

Working for Jasami is an incredible opportunity and I am excited to be part of the team. I have always had a passion for books which is why I decided to pursue a career in publishing. I have a degree in History and Literature and am now studying Publishing at Napier University. While I mainly love reading YA fiction and fantasy, I am excited to work on other genres. My dream is to work as an editor and see my name in the acknowledgments section of a book. I want to help new and diverse authors publish their books and achieve their dreams as well.

I am really passionate about books and design; therefore, I was interested in experiencing the publishing industry. I am very excited to be part of the Jasami team, to learn, get creative and be part of the process, meanwhile gaining valuable experience. I really appreciate the opportunity of being involved in making an idea become a beautiful book for everyone to enjoy. In addition to reading, I enjoy travelling, painting and sketching and being submerged in nature.

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 graduated from the University of Aberdeen in 2020 with a degree in English, after which I did my Master’s in Publishing at Edinburgh Napier University. After graduating I’ve been trying to find my place in the world, and was extremely lucky to be offered an internship with Jasami. I am excited to get creative, learn more, and to be part of a wonderful team. I love art in all its forms: there is nothing better than getting lost in the vibrant colours of a film or finding yourself with a pen in hand, writing a poem or a story.

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.
