Alex

Hello! 👋

My name is Alex. I am a 30-something UK content producer who successfully quit teaching (primary) after 8 years.

I was told by almost everyone that many try to leave but get stuck out of fear. Fear that they couldn't find anything else, that they had no other skills.

I found a way out, now I want to show others that they can do it, too.

I now write words for a living, a dream job, and I couldn't be happier. This site is a portfolio of my work, where I share my journey, progress, tips and tricks.

Please have a look around, and sign up to my newsletter so you get all my latest content straight to your inbox. 😃
