I have worked with words one way or another for more than 30 years.

I’ve long been fascinated by the way that people interact with, and are influenced by, the written word. The power of words to transform and persuade is my ongoing passion. I’ve studied creative writing and therapeutic writing and I’m trained to lead writing groups.

My background is in journalism and I have worked as a reporter, feature writer and a sub-editor for various publications and outlets including The Daily Express, CA Magzine, The Mirror, STV, The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Daily Record and The Daily Star.

Writing projects have included web content for new credit cards, website content for economic development, healthcare providers and charity sites, and destination descriptions for the National Trust for Scotland. I’ve looked after various content management systems, written bids for international lawyers, and created content surfaced as Google featured snippets.

I’ve worked on clients’ business launches, rebrands and website redesigns.

I live in Cumbria with my dog and youngest son.
