Potted history of Celine

Celine grew up in various parts of Europe and is a citizen of two. She lives in the middle of the UK. She enjoys learning new languages and is busy adding Korean to her catalogue. She wrote her first book – Le Journal Intime d’une Âme Sensible – as a student and is one one-time winner of the Write Stars contest. She has also been a judge for the Hysteria Writing competition.

She can often be found monologuing about the finer points of K-drama plots or explaining the intricacies of Korean grammar – quite often at people who didn’t ask. She is also keen on planning Escape Room road trips. When not doing these, she is usually in the middle of projects with Paul. She has been a copywriter, marketer, and digital creator for many years. She has written an enormous amount of copy for the web. She enjoys irreverent books.
