About me
Publishing project manager, editor and writer with more than (surely not) 30 years' experience commissioning, editing and writing guidebooks and illustrated reference books, and leading successful teams of writers, editors and designers. Particular interest in history, humour, music, sport, words, travel and all things high-brow and low-brow. Author of The Beautiful Game: the Infographic Book of Football (Aurum Press, 2016), Loos of London (Pop Press, 2018), Timeline of World History (Thunder Bay Press, 2020), Bots and Bods (Andrews McMeel, 2021)..
I work closely with a highly creative and experienced design company, Fogdog, and between us we can offer writing, editing and design services for a variety of media. Recent projects include The Book of Caterpillars (Ivy Press), Birds: Myth, Lore & Legend (Bloomsbury), The Gardener's Book of Patterns (RHS/Thames & Hudson) and Timeline of World History (Thunder Bay Press), Forest School for Grown-ups (Head of Zeus).
And, as the yang to my publishing ying, I am a voiceover artist, working from my home studio on corporate and commercial projects. My clients include: BMW, Bentley, Audi, Jaguar Land Rover, Moleskine, William Grant & Sons.
