WRITING
Consumer-friendly, direct, relevant and engaging copy for any purpose - from blogs and web content to magazine articles, brochures, technical studies, research reports and book chapters.
I am flexible in my approach and can adapt my writing style to suit any audience.
EDITING
If you've already written something yourself and need a professional, objective opinion I can offer copy-editing and proofreading services - from 'sense checks' to full rewrites.
I have a good eye for detail and I'm a self-confessed perfectionist...
MEDIA
If you need advice on writing a press release, to appeal to a consumer audience, I can help. I am media trained and have appeared on television (BBC Breakfast, GMTV, BBC News) and more than 100 radio interviews (inc. Radio 4, Radio 5).
Please note that I only accept media requests related to projects I have contributed to personally.
