I’m Piper Terrett and I’m a journalist and editor by trade – usually to be found online writing about money or business-related matters. You can find out more about my day job here. I also now run creative writing courses, including Write Your Book!, my course about how to write your first – or second – book, whether that’s non-fiction or fiction. These take place in Shouldham in Norfolk, where I live, and online.
A former Financial Times Group journalist, I am the author of three books – two non-fiction and a crime novel – and have also written for MSN.co.uk, MoneyWeek, Mirror Online and Yahoo!. I have an English degree from Newnham College, Cambridge, where I studied Shakespeare with Professor Germaine Greer and have also studied crime fiction writing at City University and as a private pupil with crime writer Lesley Grant-Adamson. I was also a part-time senior lecturer in business writing at London Metropolitan University for three years, teaching on the BA Journalism and Public Relations degree courses. Most recently, I was Acting Director of Communications at Newnham College, Cambridge.
I used to write a money-saving blog called The Frugal Life for MSN UK, which you can find here.
