There's a fair chance you've already read something written by Goth Girl Writing aka Jo Wright. It's not actually unheard of for her to look up from something she's reading and declare, 'I think I wrote this...' She's worked on local newspapers and written for travel brochures, tourist guides, magazines, music publications, city guides, publicity material and so much more that she's honestly forgotten. No matter where life has taken her, Goth Girl Writing has always had a pen handy. Print is in her blood.
