Jamie Harris

I am a graduate from the University of Dundee with an Honours degree in English and Creative Writing. I have been accepted into the University's post-graduate Masters program where I will be working towards an M-Litt degree in Writing Practice and Study.

My interest in writing goes right back to primary school and this interest has only grown throughout my time in education. For my Advanced Higher English grade I wrote my first folio of graded creative work. To hone my skills, I have participated in a number of online writing workshops such as webook.com and wattpad.com and have become well known on the sites as a thorough and honest editor. I have since expanded my editorial experience to include working with more advanced writers, both electronically and in person, with fellow students of creative writing. In class I developed a bit of a reputation as the guy who was willing to be honest, and give good, hard, constructive feedback.

This journey of editorial work has now culminated with the publication of The Billion Dollar Marriage Contract by Alyssa Urbano, the first published novel which I had the pleasure of editing in its entirety. It is available in hard-copy, on Amazon Kindle and Goodreads

So why me? To me, this is more than a job, it's a passion - the kind of thing I do instead of watching a film or playing a video game. With two published authors as parents, I am in a better position than most to appreciate just what it takes for a novel to really flourish. With the time I have spent refining my editorial approach online, I am in a perfect position to help budding writers take their work to the next level.
