Available to hire
Hi, I’m Rebecca Owen, an English BA graduate and self-published poet with a passion for pop culture and the creative sector. I co-founded an ongoing charity fundraiser in 2022, applying strong communication to host online events and grow an online community across multiple platforms. I’m also an active bookseller volunteer and content creator who loves turning ideas into engaging projects and stories.
Alongside writing, I bring a warm, approachable approach to customer service and community engagement. I’ve built audiences across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter/X, and I enjoy developing online campaigns, live events and collaborative storytelling that connect people and ideas.
