hi,
i'm joely
I am an aspiring writer, currently studying Creative Writing at Bath Spa University. I am interested in working in the publishing industry, as well as promoting my own work to the world!
It is my goal to make this a space dedicated to displaying various pieces of my work with pride.
When I'm not writing, I'm reading or playing cosy games like Stardew Valley and Sims 4.
I live on the outskirts of Bath with my two beautiful golden retrievers, Sunny and Honey.
I have a serious obsession with candles and tote bags.
An empty bathtub is a great spot to read (just try it).


Since the moment my mum put a book in my
lap and walked me through the pages like our
very own secret garden, books have become
a huge part of my life.
Whilst I have come a long way from the little girl who found a home in Tolkien's hobbit holes, and Lewis' apple-wood wardrobe to Narnia, it is the stories within that remain a constant for me.
I am grateful for this, because I have always known that I've wanted to be a writer, but being a good writer?
Well, I'll leave that one up to you.


My dream to become an author has felt so out of reach so often, but it's my nana's last letter to me that has kept me going. My nana would always push me to keep creating, and I can only hope I will make her proud in the future.
'Live as you dream' reminds me to never give up, and to always keep writing.
Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros.
My favourite dedication of all time!
