I specialize in self-help as well as witchcraft and pagan books. I also work well with any SEO article.
Biography
After graduating from Goldsmiths, University of London's MA Gender, Media and Culture program with both a distinction and the award for outstanding academic achievement (having received the highest grade of my cohort), I am now a freelance writer interested in helping you achieve the book of your dreams.
I have a very strong love for psychology and try to keep up to date with emerging research. It's why I love working on self-help books: I think it is essential that we share as much knowledge on these things with as many people as possible so that they can live their best lives authentically and happily.
As well as this, I have been a committed witch and Hellenic Polytheist for over five years, but have been interested in and reading about these topics since the age of 13. I love all things to do with this and read about it voraciously, so I know I have the knowledge required to write well-rounded books to do with paganism and witchcraft.
That said, I still retain a strong interest in gender studies, feminism, and diverse history. I strive to make all of my writing inclusive as I think it is important to consider all angles when working on a project.
I have loved the written word since a child, having learned to read before I began school as—to be honest—I've always been a bit of a nerd! Since then, I have become more and more interested during my higher educational studies—I also have first-class honors in Goldsmiths' BA Media and Communications program—and have developed a passion for writing extended pieces that can deeply explore any topic at hand. I absolutely adore all things in the humanities or social sciences—in particular, my current reading binge that has yet to shift is in the realm of positive psychology, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy.
I write my own fantasy, both short stories and a novel that is in progress. This is set in a secondary high fantasy world entirely of my own creation. I love to read fantasy, sci-fi, and horror and am very conversant in their tropes in order to build a shared understanding of the world with the reader or to surprise them with twists. I love to write realistic dialogue that doesn't feel stilted and can craft immersive descriptions of settings and events.
In my free time, I love scouring antique stores and charity shops for nifty old items to add to my collection—I love brass ornaments, strangely enough! I am also a passionate photographer and an adorer of cats (although dogs are cool too, of course!).

How I'd describe my personality in two sentences
I am an empathetic and conscientious individual who is always available to lend an ear to someone who needs it, and offer advice when appropriate. I overflow with ideas and love to share these with other people to build on them further.
How I'd describe my approach to my work
I persevere through anything to provide the best possible piece of writing for my clients. I am gregarious whilst being professional., and I love to have conversations with my clients so that I can tailor my writing to their/your needs. I research thoroughly and like to pride myself on my pre-existing experience. I do my due diligence to ensure my research is evidence-based and up-to-date. I plan methodically and always proofread several times to ensure my writing flows well whilst remaining informative. I have a natural creative flair that I love to explore in my writing. I love crafting realistic dialogue and immersive descriptions, as well as storytelling even in non-fiction. I pride myself on my writing abilities.
Why should you choose me for your project
Not only am I a self-confessed brilliant writer, but I also love to talk with my clients. I will work with your needs and interact with you to build the best piece of writing possible. I will keep you appraised of my progress and I will be there to answer any questions you may have, escalating to higher-ups where necessary.
I have an excellent knowledge of positive psychology, person-centered and trauma-informed approaches, and the self-help genre in general. I also have a good understanding of toxic relationships, based on personal experience as well as from previously running a peer-support group for survivors of abuse (single-handedly, I may add). My degree has also allowed me to develop an excellent knowledge of gender studies, politics, sociology, race, disability, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I am also a practicing pagan and witch, giving me knowledge of witchcraft, spirituality, and the occult.
In my free time, I love to read fantasy, sci-fi, and horror (both short stories and books). I overflow with ideas in these genres: Indeed, I even write my own fantasy fiction set in a secondary high fantasy world of my own creation.

Mentalization Based Therapy: An Introduction
Mentalization based therapy (MBT) is, in a nutshell, thinking about thinking. Therefore, mentalization is the process through which we consider our own emotions, feelings and thoughts, as well as those of other people. MBT draws on many other types of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy (Jefferson, 2022). Cognitive behavioral therapy aims to change unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors through talking it out and using certain exercises that the individual continues to carry out in their own time (NHS, 2019). Psychodynamic therapy is focused on understa...
Who Is Sappho?
Despite the existence of many powerful goddesses in the Hellenic pantheon, such as Athena and Artemis, women in the Ancient Greek world had few rights as we would conceive them today. Movement outside of the home was curtailed except for certain allowed activities, such as fetching water and performance in religious ritual, and a young woman had no consent in the choice of her husband (The Met, n.d.) It is remarkable, then, that one of the most famous and revered of the Ancient Greek poets was a woman: Sappho, whose name we derive the adjective “sapphic” from when we are describing women...
What the heck is "positive psychology?"
What is this “positive psychology” everyone seems to be talking about? Quite simply, it is the study of psychological experiences, concepts, traits, and phenomena that can be linked with positivity, such as well-being, happiness, resilience, optimism, emotional intelligence, and posttraumatic growth. But it has to be more complicated than that, doesn’t it? Surely we can’t just look on the bright side all of the time! In fact, it is pertinent to distinguish positive psychology from mere positive thinking. The former can sometimes use the latter, when it is proven through the evidence to w...
What is Witchcraft?
There has been a move in recent years to reconnect with the beautiful nature that surrounds us. Many of us feel drawn to understand it more deeply, to nurture and be nurtured by it. Some of us from that group feel a deep and meaningful call to engage even more fully with the world. Witchcraft as a spiritual path and practice is swelling in ranks year after year. It’s estimated that a million Americans are now practising witches, meaning we recognize nature's inherent magic and interconnectedness (Pagliarulo, 2022). Magic, as notable occultist Aleister Crowley (who was still not without h...
The Autopsy
I remember the inky darkness that transformed into a blinding light, like a door opened in the summertime. I remember the silhouette standing there, beckoning me towards them. I remember turning, running, thinking “who the fuck are they?” They pursued me at a walking pace yet inexplicably stayed the same distance away. I’d already learned my lesson about following strangers when I was a kid. My pelvis thrummed with pain at the memory. My feet pounded the ground as I headed back, back, back. My lungs felt like they were bleeding. My face was wet with snot and tears. But I wouldn’t go ...
Aliens? I'm Not Scared
You always hear stories of those whack-jobs, don't you? You know the ones — they make vast claims about inordinate alien intelligences and unbelievable tech, the probing and the pulling about. They’re shaken up, suffering from a PTSD that no one else believes in (or if they do, they’re likely the dodgy conspiracy theory types, and that’s not company anyone wants to keep). Me? I guess you might word it through a meme, like the kids do: I’m built different. You see, humans frequently ingest poisons for fun and pleasure. Either it lowers our inhibitions and makes everything a bit floaty,...
Her With the Candyfloss Scar
The assassin stuck to the shadows. On orders from his bandit king, he snuck up upon Liliara as she was preparing her famous ointment. Quick as a flash, the assassin plunged the dagger into the right side of her throat, twisting the blade. "That ought to do it," he thought as he slid away. "With that bitch gone, Roge— err, the bandit king will be able to move forward with his plans." What the would-be murderer forgot, however, was that Liliara was a particularly keen-eared elf. She had, of course, heard his leather boots scuffling along the floor, the way he favored one side of his bod...

I just love Molly's work. I love the way she can play with the words and put them together in ways that make the content really exciting and hard to stop reading. Thank you so much, Molly, and I can't wait for our next project together (which is already planned!!)

Molly is just the best. First, she wrote a book on witchcraft for me, and now I hired her to do the workbook as well. I love the way that she plays with words and she "contains" so much knowledge. Do hire her - but wait until she is done with my book!

Molly has done a wonderful job for me creating my outline for my witchcraft book and already, before even writing the book, taught me a lot about witchcraft. I have already decided that she should be the one to write by book.

Molly is such a terrific writer. She delivered my outline on time. She's open to my suggestions and feedback and come back with a better solution. Highly recommended!
