Noreen is a British Asian writer based in Sheffield. She's fascinated by the stories we inherit, the memories we carry, and the little moments that stay with us. Her bestselling memoir, Expelled from Uganda, tells the story of her father's expulsion from Uganda in 1972 and the impact it had on her family. Writing the book changed the direction of her own life, taking her from 15 years in teaching and lecturing to a creative career built around words, stories and connection.

Today, Noreen writes, and captures people's stories live through Typed by Noreen, her vintage typewriter poetry for weddings and events. From books to personalised poems, she finds new ways to bring people closer to the moments that matter.

She has appeared on ITV Yorkshire and TRT World News, and spoken on the TEDx stage.

Delivering a TEDx talk was a huge honour for Noreen, where she shared how her journey as a positive disruptor was shaped by her father’s resilience. Expelled from Uganda in 1972 by Idi Amin, he was forced to rebuild his life from scratch, an experience that became the foundation of her own outlook on life.

His ability to adapt, persevere and move forward through uncertainty taught Noreen the importance of embracing change with courage and purpose. Through her work and storytelling, she encourages others to recognise that having the courage to tell our stories can empower us to create our own path with intention.

Typed by Noreen

At weddings and events, Noreen brings her recently restored vintage typewriter and turns your guests' stories into tiny, personalised poems, written and typed live at the celebration. Tell her about a person, a memory, a friendship, or a pet, and she'll find the heart of it. She'll then type it onto vintage-inspired parchment paper for your guests to take home. It's a keepsake nobody else can offer: unrepeatable, unscripted, and yours to keep. Perfect for wedding receptions, parties and celebrations, with poems for guests and, of course, one for the happy couple.

Wedding bookings start from £350 for 2 hours.
