    I have travelled the world, writing features, conducting interviews and visiting film locations to meet some of Hollywood's biggest and brightest.

    I am creative and highly organised, with experience in all areas of the editorial process robustly supported by a diverse business background.

    Highlights:

    I have been commissioned to write scripts for major television networks.

    I have had my work selected for publication by 'Lord Of The Rings' director Peter Jackson

    I have written copy for an album booklet for one of the world's most successful bands.

    I have written marketing copy for Sky Television, Virgin Trains and Fox Television.

    I was the only European journalist for totalfilm.com.

    I am an excellent writer, proof reader, researcher, journalist and blogger who is fully dedicated to each and every project.

    I pride myself on an consistent level of service from beginning to end, from determining the voice and tone the client requires, to delivering the finished product above expectation and within the deadline.

    My passion is writing and your project deserves someone with the drive, energy and focus to deliver first time, every time.

    Area Covered: Journalist, Copywriter, Blogger, Marketing
    Work Experience Summary: As a journalist in the film industry, working in print and online, tight deadlines and sharp copy are a prerequisite.

    My journalism background varies from local news to film premieres, The BAFTA awards, set visits and junkets; interviewing some of the biggest and brightest Hollywood has to offer. I have also written, directed and produced short films and written drama and comedy specs for a major British television network. My business background offers a strong spine of knowledge ranging from copywriting for internet start-ups, proof-reading, bid writing, quote and tender writing and presentations at managing director level.

    'The Hoodlum' is a work in progress. From my vast experience working for film related websites, the desire to build something of my own was all-encompassing; The Hoodlum gives me that outlet. For a swift glance at what I can do in my limited spare time, go to www.thehoodlum.tumblr.com. I appreciate your time.

    Freelance Journalist

    • Writing for three Future Publishing film magazine titles: Total Film, DVD Review and Home Entertainment Week, as well as providing daily movie news and exclusive features/ interviews as the lead writer for www.totalfilm.com.

    • Writing features and carrying out interviews for Men’s Health magazine.

    • Undertaking one-on-one interviews with talent such as Ridley Scott, John Hurt, Elijah Wood, Cameron Diaz, Emmanuel Adebayor and Jesse Eisenberg; as well as conducting phone interviews and attending press conferences, round-tables, set visits (including Casino Royale in The Bahamas and a night-shoot in the UK), film premieres (including Pirates Of The Caribbean) and The BAFTA awards.

    • I provided extensive section management cover at Total Film and DVD Review, sitting in for the News Editors and the Picture Editor on several occasions. Attending editorial meetings, commissioning features, obtaining picture/image rights, communicating with press office/PR, marketing and talent. I undertook two separate weeks of work experience in October 2004 and March 2005 at Total Film.

    Writer - Sky Movies Magazine

    • As the only dedicated writer on a monthly film magazine, this job was deadline intensive. As a senior member of the editorial team, I was involved in all areas of issue planning, including cover lines and picture approval. I developed features, commissioned and sub-edited copy. I was also a point of customer contact for one of the most recognised brand names in the country. Dealing directly with Sky and helping maintain that relationship was a massive and thoroughly enjoyable challenge.
