Stuart Davis
A degree in History at the University of Wales, Bangor, gave me an excellent grounding for writing and analytical research. These skills were developed further while writing for the local press in Lincolnshire. This was followed by a gap year, during which time I wrote travel articles for my own website and later for local magazines. Fuelled by enthusiasm for a career in magazine journalism I then pursued and gained a Masters Degree in Professional Writing. I have a wide range of interests, including music, film, TV, literature and sports.
