About
Words written
Words written
with purpose
I am a freelance journalist, former national magazine Editor and published author with more than 20 years' experience creating content for national newspapers, magazines, businesses and charities. My work spans everything from celebrity interviews and human-interest features to travel, lifestyle and branded content.
Alongside editorial commissions, I work with commercial clients to create engaging content for websites, blogs, social media channels, thought-leadership pieces and press releases. Whether writing for consumers or businesses, I combine meticulous attention to detail with the ability to adapt seamlessly to different audiences, tone of voice and house styles.
I am also an experienced non-fiction author and ghostwriter, and am always interested in discussing new book concepts, collaborations and publishing projects.
