About Me
I'm a freelance journalist and editor with 15 years experience in print and television. I write for titles such as The Times, The Independent, The Guardian, Psychologies Magazine as well as a wealth of corporate publications. I cover education, careers, parenting and families. As a former Reuters journalist and BBC news and features producer, I can master a brief and deliver accurate copy promptly.
On the commercial side of writing, I offer a professional, friendly service; including writing and refreshing websites, blogging, copywriting, editing, proofreading, and press releases.
