Jayne Sharratt
I’m proud to be the editor of two local magazines, Rusthall Life and Langton Life. I am passionate about celebrating people and communities, and I’m always on the lookout for stories with an eco, equal or creative energy. I have interviewed many wonderful people over the years and I have never ceased to be in awe of the sheer variety of life that goes on in a village community.
Village Stories began because I wanted an online portfolio for my writing, but I hope that it will grow to reflect the causes I’m passionate about - protecting the environment for future inhabitants of our planet, working towards a more equal world for everyone, and celebrating the creative, everyday joy that can be found in the collaborative efforts of the community!
Some things about me:
I don’t have a car and so I walk a lot and have plenty of opinions about how public transport and active travel could be made better.
I’m a passionate advocate for my local village school and the holistic benefits of sending your children to the nearest local school you can walk to.
I’m also a proofreader and copywriter, so if you have a website you need help with, or a novel you want editing, I’m a writer for hire! You can find out more by contacting me here.
I have a Masters degree in British History with a special interest in the changing lives of twentieth century women. I’ve been researching the life of Amabel Williams-Ellis, and you can read more about her here.
Village Stories is a project of my own but I would love to hear from you if you have any thoughts or would like to collaborate with me. You can contact me here.
