👋 I’m Oliver Sharman.

Brit living in a small town just outside Lecce, a beautiful baroque city at the tip of Italy’s heel.

I work as a freelance copywriter and content marketer with clients across the globe. Come say hi on LinkedIn if you’re into that type of thing. I’m also a CELTA-qualified English language teacher.

I have a BA English degree from Birkbeck, University of London. I studied in the evenings while working as a nursing assistant at various London hospitals. On each side of this I spent time working for Bloomberg and The Economist.

Why does this website exist?

I think best through writing. I hope sharing things here will help me think better and more easily look back at what was going on. My posts mix my personal life with my professional life in an attempt to build this into a single digital base that I can point anybody towards.

I love talking about poetry, technology, creativity, the craft of writing, nature, and how difficult I’m finding it to learn Italian as well as the local dialects people speak down here.

Thanks for stopping by. Here’s how to get in touch or connect with me elsewhere.
