Cerid can’t walk past a second-hand bookshop without giving up her day to the enchanting vellichor of the yet to be discovered adventures living between pages. She is a lover of folk tales and will read almost anything that transports her to elsewhere or delves her deep into the psyche of human nature.

With a life-long passion for the arts, she holds speech and drama qualifications, an Honours Diploma in Art and Creativity (The Learning Connexion) and has pursued academic achievements over various studies at both Victoria and Massey Universities. The latter landing her an A grade average for a double BA in Cultural Anthropology and English Literature (Including creative writing, of course). She’s even taken some business papers at The Open Polytechnic and is currently working on a Duty Managers qualification.

 
As well as having a history in amateur theatre, managing her own art collective, being a curator, working in radio and creative promotion, marketing and events - she’s interned with various small publishing houses across the globe.
She has volunteered for Takahe magazine on issue 104 for social media designs and post. Previously the Developmental editor, social media designer and general Co-Publisher at Odyssey Books.
