Career

Monica Cafferky is a British freelance journalist who has written for a number of publications including the Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, The Sun, Daily Express, The Guardian, News of the World, Star on Sunday, The Scotsman, Woman's Own, Woman, Chat, Red, Company and numerous other national newspapers and magazines in the UK and abroad.

Her first job was on a martial arts magazine followed by a two-year stint as a staff writer on Woman's Own. Since going freelance in 2002, she's spent the weekend with a coven of witches, interviewed some of her favourite authors and had a weekly Mind, Body, Spirit page in "The Daily Mirror", which ran for three years.

Notable stories include a frontage scoop for "The Sunday Mirror" about Catholic priests fathering children, a piece on World Kindness Day and an interview with Mandy Sellers who has a rare genetic mutation, which has triggered extraordinary growth in both of her legs.
