Celebrating 30 years as a professional writer, editor and communications planner for magazines and businesses, the approach I always take to my work is robust, exacting and results-driven. I begin every new project with a period of deep research, examine client and reader brand, develop a plan and deliver an end-product that gets noticed and prompts debate. All my work is rooted in a belief that exceptional content explains, challenges and creates noise. Anyone can put pen to paper but what writers do is communicate.

​

Filling an empty space with words that stir and make a difference is my only drive. In business and in fiction this is all that matters – that with imagination and understanding you can place a story where nothing was before and make its presence absolute. 

​

This standard-setting is as essential for my paid commissions as it is in my creative work. I write short stories, novels and poetry and my work has been praised by David Almond, Michele Roberts and the late Helen Dunmore. I am now editing novels for publication and these are scheduled for release in 2024.
