Meet Sam...

Samantha Pearce is the founder of Words Worth Reading, and the author of Tangled in Heaven (2005), Thinking Pink (to be released in 2008) and Catherina and the Incredible Stripy Pants (also to be released in 2008). 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, an editorial service open to all, where essays, CVs and manuscripts are thoughtfully appraised and improved. Nominated as Young Entrepreneur of the Year for the Essex Business Awards 2008, and an active member of the Society of Women’s Writers and Journalists, she takes her responsibilities in the writing community very seriously, working hard to ensure Words Worth Reading provides the leading writing and editorial service for the UK and beyond.

Meet Di and Lindsey...

They are the main link between us and the outside world! Both are well organised, decisive, creative and approachable. Di is also an exceptional critique of literature and can write a mean essay!
