I’ve been creating content in various forms, over numerous platforms, for a while. It’s my thing. I try to bring stories to life in the most engaging ways possible. As a journalist, author and multi-platform professional this means putting important stories into the public domain that aid our understanding of what makes people, and the world generally, tick. I use print, audio and film to do this. Sometimes a combination of all three, for example with my multi-platform anti-poverty initiative, Project Twist-IT. As an experienced copyeditor, editor and researcher I’m available for commissions on podcasts, documentaries, books, reports and much more.
I am a fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts, a member of the Society of Authors as well as founder and chair of the David Nobbs Memorial Trust championing new comedy talent. I’ve also been the recipient of an Alistair Cooke Fulbright Scholarship. My novel, Making Birdie Devine, is currently with my literary agent and publishers.
