I am a well established writer, with experience in several different areas:

• journalism
• copy writing
• web writing
• script writing
• researching
• editing
• video directing

I am also the author of several books, and a regular contributor to radio and TV programmes.

I write for newspapers, magazines and websites. I have been involved in the launch and development of major websites, writing and commissioning editorial content and handling users' contributions.

I am also an experienced editor, producing newsletters, customer magazines, bulletins and specialist magazines for small and large clients.

In addition to my writing, I am an experienced and qualified teacher and trainer of adults. I teach writing for publication and I run my own media training business, Lemonlime.

My specialist topics are:

• health
• childcare
• relationships
• education
• family life
• craft
• community regeneration

My reputation is built on reliable production of accurate copy, to a deadline agreed with you, the client. I am versatile and skilled in a variety of styles, so you can be sure your audience will find my work accessible. Many clients have commissioned me again and again, over several years. I have followed some editors from job to job, as they know they can trust me to be easy to deal with, and to produce excellent work.

I live in Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of England.
