About Me

I write for a living and have been privileged to do so since 2001.

I've been a newspaper reporter, dubbed a 'natural writer' by my editor who took me on after I started rewriting the copy I was typing as an editorial assistant.

I'm now the features editor for On Target Media one day a week. Much of the work is writing advertorials and business profiles, but I also write celebrity interviews and all sorts of features from lists to how-to guides.

Since going freelance I've been published by The Guardian, Big Issue Cymru, Private Eye and The Quietus.

I love writing and it really does come very naturally to me. Doing something I love means I take a great deal of pride in doing it to the very highest standards and I'll bring the utmost care to your project - I can write in any number of styles or voices and to any brief. I'm quick, accurate and always hit deadlines.

As a qualified librarian I'm an expert at research, both on and off line.

Areas covered: Cardiff, South wales, south west England, London, anywhere
