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.

The Martin Cloake blog carries regular updates on what I am doing, plus comments on issues of interest to me professionally and personally.
What I have achieved
I've worked on best-selling magazines and groundbreaking websites, performed senior roles in a number of magazine launches and written seven books, selling a total of over
60,000 copies. I've implemented new production and software systems, and designed and delivered innovative training and teaching courses in the public and private sectors.

Who I have worked for
I worked on staff at almost every major UK magazine publishing group, including News International, Bauer, Emap, IPC, Time Out and John Brown. I held senior subbing positions on market-leading titles Heat, What's on TV and The Sun TV mag, and have written for publications ranging from Local Government Chronicle to When Saturday Comes. Freelance clients include Royal Mail, UEFA, Tottenham Hotspur FC, Vision Sports Publishing, Sunday Express, Dorling Kindersley, Chevron, National Union of Teachers, the Holocaust Educational Trust and the London College of Communication.
