Editing and Journalism

When I'm not writing creatively or running workshops, my 'day job' is writing journalistic features and editing. 

I have over 20 years of experience as a freelance and employed professional writer. I started out my career writing marketing and newsletters for major organisations including the Department for Work and Pensions, npower, NatWest, Peugeot and Specsavers.

Following a move to Swansea, I moved into mainstream journalism, becoming Sub Editor for the South Wales Evening Post.

I still research and write commissioned features for a wide variety of clients, both public and private sector.

I am also a professional copyeditor and proofreader and can help you edit your book before sending it off to a publisher. 

 

Broadcast journalism

I created and hosted a series of shows 'Off The Page', showcasing Wales-based writers, for Swan TV. 

Got an event or story you'd like us to cover? Or need a presenter for an online or Podcast project? Feel free to get in touch at swanmedia@ntlworld.com

 

Features writing 

In  the course of my professional career I'm written for a wide range of clients - from providing a training pack on sensory disabilities for the Department of Health to writing for Peugeot's customer magazine, and writing a series of Arts reviews for the Western Mail.

Previous commissions range from business to lifestyle features and everything in between.

If you've got an important message you need to get across to the world, give me a call.
