I'm a London-based copywriter, poet, proofreader and editor, specialising in toys and games. For me, sparing language, constraints and a sense of rhythm and flow sit nicely at the intersection of poetry and copywriting. I'm also a professional voiceover with a warm northern accent, so if you need those words brought to life, get in touch.
My clients range from global brands to non-profits, authors and SMEs, and I love helping clients foster a strong tone of voice that shows off their brand's personality. As a proofreader, I straighten out everything from novels to science articles, working to your house style.
I am one of the two editors behind award-winning poetry publisher Sidekick Books. My own poetry has been published by Salt Publishing and Happenstance, awarded several prizes, and thrown out of a helicopter. I've taught folklore poetry for the Poetry School, and am currently working on my second collection and a new folklore collaboration.
