I wanted to write when I left school, but I never achieved the correct qualifications. Finally, I achieved that goal and successfully became a graduate. I received my diploma promptly, and a boyhood ambition has come true.

I've found that having this journalism qualification, and subsequently being published, has been beneficial for my work as a copywriter.

I have started working with Kung Fu Kingdom, which has accepted and commissioned several pieces of my work. This achievement speaks volumes about the quality and practical relevance of the education I received from the British College of Journalism.

I already have three streams of income from writing and I’m making more money than ever before. I now earn a living from my laptop, writing online blogs . . . The demand for content is endless. You don’t need to be an exceptional writer, just a good one, who is able to deliver what is asked of you to a deadline.

I have written for a number of well-known international newspapers and magazines including BBC Wildlife, National Geographic Kids and National Wildlife Federation magazine... The satisfaction you get when seeing your article in a magazine is priceless!
