Freya Bass

Exeter '26

I am Freya, a 19 year old student at The University of Exeter, currently in my first year. Taking the English and Creative Writing Joint Honours degree, I want to begin writing articles and working towards building a portfolio of my pieces. Before University I attended my schools Sixth Form and excelled in English based subjects. I completed an EPQ on the presence of 17th Century witchcraft in literature, which allowed me to stay in contact with author Malcolm Gaskill for the better part of a year. This was my first time in contact with an author and no less one that was giving me feedback on how to improve my work!

I come from Surrey, Britain and have three siblings: One of which being my non-identical twin sister Sienna. My childhood has had a big impact on my interests surrounding writing. For example, I love books, movies and baking. Being a national Team-Gym gymnast when I was younger, aided me in my ability to learn fast and apply new techniques to my work and so I love constructive criticism!

Moreover, I have a deep interest in psychology and criminology and love a good documentary on Netflix! But nothing can beat a light hearted comedy – especially if Adam Sandler’s in it! I also enjoy fishing and running as a way to get away from the screens and to encourage my creative thoughts.
