“A repeat customer of James' - always a pleasure working with. His quality is top notch, A+. Thanks! [21 March, 2013] I really enjoy working with James. Not only is his writing great but he also takes the initiative to make thoughtful & insightful recommendations, which is exactly what I look for in my business partners. [21 March, 2013] Great wit & creativity - it\'s nice to have James\' personality come through in his writing. It gives life to the writing and makes it more enjoyable to read. [21 March, 2013] James goes above & beyond the call of duty to make his writing professional. He\'s worth every penny. [21 March, 2013] Excellent review! Looking forward to see what\'s next! [21 March, 2013] James\' writing is absolutely superb - a cut above the rest. He\'s definitely a re-hire. Great job on this and the rest of the projects you\'ve done for me, James!”

Experience
Senior Residential Care Officer
Oct 2010 - Aug 2012 (1 year)Building on my experience writing reports in the youth justice sector, I was responsible for gate-keeping (i.e. proofreading and editing) reports by my colleagues. These reports were a critical opportunity to demonstrate our professionalism and the reports I wrote and gate-kept were always well received by partner agencies.
Youth Offending Team Officer
Oct 2003 - Oct 2010 (7 years)One of the key aspects of this job was the preparation of high quality court reports to strict deadlines. In seven years, I never submitted a late report. Time after time, judges and magistrates commented on how thorough and well-written my reports were. In particular, colleagues felt they actually knew the young person involved once they had read my work.
Education
BA English
1996 - 1999 (3 years)MA Creative Writing
2001 - 2003 (2 years)Qualifications
Certificate of Effective Practice (2010)
I completed this while working in the UK's youth justice sector. It covers many aspects of working with young offenders, including the importance of evidence based practice.
