Hi there, if you hadn't guessed already my name is Alice Griffin and I am a freelance writer. Words have been my passion for as long as I can remember and I am one of those annoying people forever scribbling notes in a pad whilst silently observing everyone and everything that passes me by.

Life as a freelance writer began penning articles for local publications before landing the dream job of travelling the world writing for a tourist guide. When I returned from globetrotting I studied journalism in London before I was eventually tamed - without a struggle - by my wonderful husband.

After a few years of domestic bliss in Milton Keynes we have developed another case of itchy feet and along with my husband, baby and dog, I am currently on a year-long European road trip. Head to my Travel page to read articles about this trip.

Aside from travelling my days are spent writing articles, film and book reviews, and running Keramay - a product of my years in the world of marketing, copywriting and design.

Other passions are books, films, music, taking risks, dancing in bare feet and hearing the pages drop with a delicate thud on my giant Bloomsbury dictionary!
