Hello, my name is Lizzy Huitson. I'm a beginner when it comes to professional writing, but I've been writing for the enjoyment of it since I was a kid. I write a lot of poetry, and I've also written a number of short stories and novella-length pieces. More recently, I've become interested in writing pop science pieces, since studying psychology and biology at the University of Reading has fuelled my enthusiasm for these subjects. I'm looking forward to combining my love of learning about the human mind and the natural world with my passion for writing.
