  • Do you have something very important to say but struggle to get people to listen? Then you have come to the right place. Drawing attention to the things that matter most was my job (and my passion) for more than 30 years as a journalist and editor. Today I channel that experience and enthusiasm into helping people like you get your message across. With me you get bright, engaging copy that grabs readers and prompts them to think and act the way you or your business needs them to. It can take any form: articles, blogs. press releases, website content, speeches, social posts, slogans, campaign materials, emails. You name it, I’ve written in that format at some time or other. And no matter whether you are a tiny good cause or a vast corporation, you will get my best at a reasonable rate and always to deadline. So whatever it is you have to say, drop me a line and between us we can find the best possible way to say it.
