About Me

Words have always been my thing, but numbers are not. I gave up the battle of trying to decipher the numbers and outsourced the entire process. It was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I was able to really focus on the one thing that I love doing. Writing.

My Story

I started my career as a bright eyed student just out of University. My dreams were of writing and teaching. But, for some unbeknownst reason, I had decided that buying a house with my fiance was a great idea partway through my 5 year Masters degree. So I needed a job to pay that mortgage. I did many things: data entry, reception work, sales work, cold calling, account coordination, account management, business development and even immigration advice. Basically all I learned from those jobs is what I DIDN’T want to do for a living.

The writing call was strong. So several years ago I started a blog.  I wrote, and I wrote, and I wrote. I loved it. So, I started writing here and there for my friends and family. They told me that my writing was good, but they are meant to say that right? Then I started writing for a few business people that I knew and they said my writing was great.

Suddenly it became clear that my romanticised notion of becoming a novelist was not the only way to earn a living from writing. So Gemma Knight Writes was born.
