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. Nominated as Young Entrepreneur of the Year for the Essex Business Awards 2008, 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.
