About me

I am currently seeking work in copywriting or other editorial roles, including freelance commissions. I am a versatile writer, with a proven track record of being a fast learner. My most recent role was senior correspondent at Metal Bulletin, a leading B2B publication based in the City of London, before relocating to York in September 2016. I am a skilled journalist and writer, with eight years of editorial experience under my belt.

At Metal Bulletin, my main areas of coverage were ferro-alloys, capital markets, tin, and also support in aluminium coverage. Beyond that, I have written about a diverse range of topics, including entertainment and lifestyle blogs published on the Huffington Post. I am NCTJ-qualified and obtained my NCE (now NQJ) certification in March 2010. I am fluent in Teeline shorthand, with a speed of approximately words per minute.

I am publishing my debut novel, Abernathy, through crowdfunded press Unbound. Visit the link to the right for more.
