With extensive knowledge in a wide variety of areas including music, entertainment, sports and sports betting, I can offer accurate and entertaining content to meet tight deadlines. I have written for traditional media and online sources, and have worked on a number of best-selling titles from magazines and programmes to books and special edition releases.

    Area Covered: North-west England
    Work Experience Summary: Since 2001 I have worked in the UK media industry for two of the biggest companies in the market - Press Association and Trinity Mirror. With a wealth of writing, editing, research and reporting experience gleaned, I can offer my skills in a wide variety of areas including traditional and online media. I have authored and helped market books, and list credits in over 50 titles. My versatility is reflected in the projects I have completed. These include publications on Frankie Goes To Hollywood guitarist Brian Nash, journalist-turned-soldier Stephen Paul Stewart, former international footballers Keith Gillespie and Craig Bellamy plus projects with Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, Liverpool, Chelsea and Celtic. My list of credits includes the following books:

    Rafael Benitez - Inside The Rafalution (2017);
    Jerzy Dudek - The Big Pole In Your Goal (2016);

    Pepe Reina - My Autobiography (2011);
    Brian Barwick - Anfield Days & Wembley Ways (2011);
    The Captains Club - The Men Who Led Manchester United (2011).

    I have also assumed editorial roles on news and sport service Teletext, Sport Direct, monthly magazines and official club programmes for Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, West Bromwich Albion and Celtic, and am currently fulfilling this role for Everton FC's official publications, which also encompasses account management responsibility.

    My online writing and design experience varies from BBC to independent sites. I was in charge of CMS for merseyshop.com for 2 years, which included the adoption of SEO marketing techniques, while online freelance writing in recent years includes work for Betfair, onlinebookmakers.co.uk and online magazine suite101.co.uk. I also review new book releases for the Press Association (2004-2016), and was a correspondent for the weekly Non League Today newspaper (2007-2009), website goal.com (Everton FC correspondent 2000-2003) and a match reporter for non-League football website pyramidportal.co.uk (2000-2001).

    Education Summary: Educated to BA (hons) degree level in Journalism and Communications. Part-time courses undertaken include creative writing and scriptwriting for TV and radio, digital marketing, SEO and Adwords.
