About me
Hello! I’m Sean, and Carduelis Content & Historical Research is the name under which I operate as a sole trader. I grew up near Leicester and today live in Leicester City Centre.
Why Carduelis? Carduelis Carduelis is the Latin name for the Goldfinch – my favourite bird.
For ten years between 2012 and 2022, I worked as a writer across different industries – from journalism to publishing to digital marketing.
While I love to write, I have always wanted to explore my interest in historical research. In 2019, I enrolled on the MA Urban Conservation course at the University of Leicester’s Centre for Urban History. I loved studying again and successfully achieved a Distinction, as well as receiving the 2020 David Reeder Prize for Best Dissertation in Urban History.
After many months of careful consideration, in July 2022 I decided to take the leap into full-time freelancing, and Carduelis Content & Historical Research was born. I am delighted to be working with some superb clients, and I’m always keen to talk with businesses about how to my services can help them get to where they want to be.
Say hello and let’s get your content or research moving in the right direction.
