About me

A sociable writer/copywriter/web-editor with experience working in
all editorial environments; from magazine, to online, to retail, and an
ability to write short and long copy to a range of briefs. Having
started out as a journalist working on publications from Time Out to
the Times, I broadened my portfolio to include commercial copywriting
for anyone from major high street retailers, to advertising agencies
and film production agencies.
