Ellie P.

My name is Ellie Phant, and I adore wordsmithery. (That sounds a little as if I am introducing myself to the group at a 12-step program.) I have been writing all my life and am an avid blogger. I worked as a secretary for 11 years before pursuing a career as a full-time writer so I can touch-type FAST. Which is just as well if I want my fingers to keep up with my overactive mind. I used to write stand-up comedy routines, sometimes for myself, but mainly for other performers. Often, I would write new routines en route to a gig. One day, walking past the local university, I popped in and asked if I could do an English degree. I had missed the normal intake procedure but wheedled an interview there and then. Three years later, I walked out with a BA (Hons) in English and Communication Arts. I have worked with several American blogging networks as a Content Writer then as an Editor and am au fait with SEO. I have written/edited articles on many topics but my favorite niches are: Self-improvement Motivational Horseback Riding Veterinary Care Humor Alternative Medicine Visualization/Manifestation The Law of Attraction Luck When I am not writing, I am riding one of my horses or pottering around in the fields with them. I find it an ideal way to create content. I always have a pen and paper in my pocket. Although writing whilst riding is a little difficult. But spidery notes are better than ideas lost. And of course, I read a lot. I have a new guilty pleasure - Chick Lit; but don’t tell my old English Professors.
