As a UK-based copywriter, journalist and editor, I provide specialist writing services to businesses and public sector organisations that need high-quality written communications and marketing.
Experience
I started out as a journalist working on local newspapers, and later in a press agency providing material for the nationals. I have also worked as an in-house copywriter for advertising agencies and as an editor in a non-fiction publishing company.

- Qualified journalist (National Council for the Training of Journalists National Proficiency Certificate – Sept ’93)
- A former daily paper journalist and news editor
- A former agency copywriter
- Graduate in English Literature (University of York 1986).
Proof that someone loves me, even if it’s only my dog. (Cynics have pointed out that she might be looking for food in my beard).
I write anything

gobbledegook)

Clear English – anywhere in the world
I’m based in England, UK, but provide services world-wide. I’ve written extensively for clients as far afield as France, the USA, Canada, Ghana, China and Australia.
Better than a copywriting agency
I’m not a copywriting agency (or trying to look like one). I do all the work myself. If you need a team of writers, you may want to contact one of the larger agencies. I can even make some recommendations (although not totally unbiased, as I do quite a lot of work through several of them).
Of course, because I’m not a writing agency, I can offer:
- A more personal copywriting service
- The expert copywriter doing the work
- One writer who really gets to know you and your organisation
- A versatile copywriter who can meet all your copy requirements
- Lower overheads – better value
Above all, I aim to provide a responsive service that is both professional and friendly. If you’d like to know more, give me a call.
