Words written
with purpose

I am a freelance feature writer and published author with more than 20 years' experience writing for national newspapers and magazines. Formerly the Editor of a women's weekly magazine, I now write lifestyle features and interviews for all kinds of titles, as well as for commercial brands and charities.

As a trusted content writer, I also create and edit copy for social media channels and websites, blog posts, thought pieces and press releases. I am meticulous when it comes to grammatical accuracy and spelling, and am at ease following any given house style.

I am also a published non-fiction author and ghostwriter, and am always keen to hear of potential new book projects and ideas.
