Jade - Janet Forte
My name is Jade Weighell and I have a BA in English and Drama and an MA in English Literature. I write book reviews and have been published in www.roundtablereview.com and www.readme.cc. I also write theatre reviews for www.totallytheatre.com. I have recently started to write short stories and hope to complete a novel by 2011.
I also act and am a member of a new, up and coming theatre company.
I work in a theatre and so get to see many shows and am constantly learning about the theatre industry.
