My name is Jessica Stone, I’m 21 years old and at the beginning of my writing journey. I’m currently writing the first draft of my first ever book which is a new adult fiction and a non-fiction book to raise awareness for domestic violence.
About three months ago I began a poetry writing course which covers the topic of mental health. I have already had one of my poems put on display for mental health awareness week 2019 and I intend to produce more poetry along side writing my books.
I will also be venturing into spoken word performance and look forward to meeting lots of new people and hope to help others and raise awareness for mental health.
Why i write
I decided to write about two years ago after I had been a victim of domestic abuse. I want to write to help others, to raise awareness to others going through similar situations or to help others recognise the signs to help their loved ones. If my experience can help just on person then everything I’m doing will be worth it. When deciding to do this I found a love for writing and decided to broaden my horizons and turn my hand to writing other genres and poetry.
As well as writing, I love to read and love spending time at the beach with my two crazy spaniels.
