With over 20 years’ experience, I’ve written for and been an editor of:
- Local newspapers
- Arts magazines
- National newspapers
- B2B publications
- Copywriting clients across multiple sectors
People hire me because I can quickly understand how to talk to their audience in a voice that’s appropriate. I’m deadline- and accuracy-obsessed. And I prefer clear language and easy-to-grasp storytelling (because even the smartest people don’t like wading through impenetrable jargon).
If you want to cut to the chase and find out what my writing’s like, look at my portfolio.
Still here? Great. Here’s why other people think you should hire me:
