About Us
Meet Samantha...
Samantha Pearce is the founder and Managing Director of Words Worth Reading
Ltd, and the author of Tangled in Heaven (2005), Catherina and the Incredible
Stripy Pants (released in June 2009) and Thinking Pink (to be released in summer
2010). She graduated with a BA in English and American Literature and Philosophy
from Canterbury and loved every moment of university life. Her experiences
and interactions as a student led to a strong belief that words, writing, concepts
and ideas should be nurtured and helped to flourish, not covered in red pen
markings or disregarded by others as insufficient, inappropriate or 'just not
good enough'. So she created Words Worth Reading Ltd, an editorial service
open to all, where essays, CVs, manuscripts, business documents and all other
word-driven documents are thoughtfully appraised and improved. Sam was nominated
as Young Entrepreneur of the Year for the Essex Business Awards 2008, is a
member (including a spell on the council) of the Society of Women’s Writers
and Journalists, and was the presenter for the weekly Wednesday night Book
Show on Phoenix FM. Sam takes her responsibilities in the writing community
very seriously, working hard to ensure Words Worth Reading Ltd provides a leading
writing and editorial service for the UK and beyond.
