Journalist, copywriter and editor

About Me

I’m a creative and versatile multi-platform journalist, commercial copywriter, editor, commissioning editor and content strategist. Working also as a stylist, I’m programmed to see things visually on the page and screen too. I have 20 years’ experience writing on a broad range of subjects for national and international newspapers, consumer magazines, trade titles, blogs, websites, social media, and marketing across consumer and business sectors. I also produce copy for brands. I’ve been a spokesperson on radio and TV and been involved in video production. I’m an expert at overseeing, researching and planning projects; budgeting; managing staff and workflow; product testing; identifying news; concise commissioning; fact-checking; editing copy to style; pitching; and, writing engaging, inspiring and shareable stories that are commissioned in various guises, often for multiple markets. I put as much thought into a Tweet or Instagram post as I do into long-form features and quickly find my way around content management systems. I extract relevant data from surveys, web analytics and databases to optimise content for SEO; and, in the commercial space, overlook facts that would be included in a pure editorial story.

Video on the move

Video can now be viewed just about anywhere, from a screen small enough to sit on your wrist, to a projection encompassing the side of a building. For anyone involved behind the scenes, it hasn’t been an easy journey, but the quality, though not always perfect, is finally getting close to it.This feature looks at the technology that makes this happen.
