Jun 2009 to Present
Freelance writer/columnist at Archant (Surrey Life, Kent Life and Sussex Life magazines)

Several features researched and written for Surrey Life magazine about Surrey towns, events and other areas of interest since 2007.

Regular monthly column written (November 2007 - December 2010) called 'Robin's Roost' - about a child's eye view of life in Surrey. This monthly column was replaced in January 2011 with another more widespread one highlighting events, activities and family-friendly experiences for Surrey Life. Over the summer, this column was expanded to Kent Life magazine.

In addition to the above, I also write a monthly National Trust column for Surrey Life, Sussex Life and Kent Life magazines.
