I am particularly interested in writing on travel, but have lots of experience and knowledge of health, politics and the environment. I have worked as a freelance copy editor for traditional publishers including Mitchell Beazley as well as online clients such as Microsoft. My most enjoyable job ever has to be writing questions for the board game, Cranium. I've recently set up a new communications agency, BrightSpark Communications, and I'm available now. I'm pretty new to PPH, but scored in the top 5% in their creative writing and grammar tests.

    Area Covered: UK, international


    Work Experience
    -----------------

    Summary: Making words work is what I do. Starting from an excellent academic record (BA Hons, 2:1, University of Bristol, AAAC at 'A' Level), and working in a wide range of communications and writing jobs over 25 years, I can offer tip-top professional standards with creative flair. I'm also a real stickler for deadlines. I recently left the 9 to 5 world to set up my own business, BrightSpark Communications - but it's a welcome return to self-employment for me as I had a successful writing and editing career before jumping back into employment. I'm happy to write test pieces or to send samples of my writing. Looking forward to hearing from you.
