| About
me - Linda March
I hold
a B.A. degree with joint honours in English and Latin Literature
as well as a Post Graduate Certificate of Education. After fourteen
years as an English teacher, I became head teacher of an independent
school before moving to Norway, where I lived for six years.
My
writing career has seen me specialise in short stories and articles,
and I have been published in a range of national and local magazines
and newspapers. My first book: Culture Smart! Norway, part
of the Kuperard travel guide series, has recently been published.
My years
of essay-marking experience mean that spelling mistakes and grammatical
errors leap off the page at me, but I have formalised my skills by
undertaking training courses in proofreading, editing and copywriting.
To
me a piece of writing which is well-crafted and technically correct
is a thing of
beauty! It also says a great deal about the writer. The high quality
written word can be a powerful tool in helping to persuade the reader – whether
customer, manager, professor or editor – to your point of view. |
