Who I
am
I'm a writer, production journalist and media consultant with
over 20 years' experience of working for market-leading media companies, corporate clients and membership organisations.
I work in print and online and perform effectively in solo
roles or in a team environment. I also lecture in and write
about production journalism.
What I do
I write, edit and sub-edit copy for mass-market, specialist or corporate publications in print and online. I provide consultancy ranging from targeted advice on client media to research and recruitment. I manage complete projects, alone or with an extensive network of contacts in editorial, reprographics and printing. I train professional journalists and teach students.
