My background is in newspapers, but I have also worked on magazines, books, fanzines and journals.

    I am a conscientious, accurate and speedy sub-editor. No detail is too small for my eye. I strive for accuracy and honesty, and will always attempt to break through jargon to make a story accessible and understandable.

    My work has allowed me to edit many press releases, so I understand how to prepare and compile a release that should gain maximum impact. I possess a keen eye for a story and always relish the opportunity to exercise my writing skills.

    I am used to working to tight deadlines and will always deliver good quality work on time and, importantly, on budget.

    I have been writing and re-writing copy for over 20 years, so have the experience to produce the best results in co-operation with my client.

    Additionally, I have undertaken research for various books, and will again provide a professional and reliable service to meet the needs of my clients.

    My main areas of expertise are sport, music, television, cinema and gambling (I was a bookmaker many years ago!).
