Hello everyone! My name is Jade, I have only recently started writing for The Quack so I thought I would tell you a little bit about myself.
I am a first-year creative writing student. I have been writing now for the last four years. I started as a poet; I then became a performance poet. Over the last few years, I have performed at event across the country including the UNIslam youth showcase three years in a row, Young Ambassadors and many workshops. In July 2019, I started helping out at a local arts charity where I had been going to workshops and events. Together, we wrote a bid to the Arts council and Young Inspired for some money to put together the first young laureate in my city which went ahead in February 2020… Just before everything shut down the first time!
Since coming to Edge Hill, I have started writing fiction and working with Edge Hill University Press. I am also very interested in reading. I have over 100 books and I spend most of my free time reading. During the third lockdown, I started to teach myself how to crochet and started a business. My business partner and I started making and selling canvases, bags, bookmarks and prints to promote female empowerment, feminism and body positivity.
I love all things English and I find words really fascinating so I am super excited to write for The Quack!
Q&A:
Do you have any nicknames?
I actually have quite a few… my friends and family call me Jadey-Lou, Loullabella but mostly people just call me Bells.
Favourite book?
It’s so hard to just pick one! At the moment I am really enjoying the Renegades series by Marissa Meyer.
Favourite film?
Any soppy romance or hardcore fantasy… there is really no in between.
Thanks for reading 🙂
