Feature writing
From relationships and careers to travel, fashion and real-life tales, I can produce engaging features with fresh ideas, brilliant experts, brand new case studies and a writing style that stays in your mind, long after you’ve passed the last point…
Interviews
Catherine Zeta Jones was beautiful, Julien Macdonald was fabulous, Emma Bunton was lovely, Richard Branson was funny, David Beckham was… quiet. My experience is wide, and I know how to craft cracking copy, whether it’s a 200 word gossip nib, or a 3,000 word in-depth interview. And I’m not afraid to ask the sticky questions, either
Columns
Weekly, monthly, daily… witty, inspiring, critical: my columns are feisty and affecting, sliced through with originality and a healthy dose of irreverence. The best columns make your readers think, question, laugh and nod their heads in agreement, and that’s exactly what I can deliver, on a fast turnaround, too
Beauty and wellbeing
Over a decade specialising in beauty means I know how to cut through the hype and find the sharpest story, the handiest hint, the cutting-edge technology and the trendiest treatment, not to mention the holy grail product that will change your readers’ lives
Editing
Need someone to take ownership of a destination section in your magazine? To come up with new ideas, see features through to the page, and package sidebars, pics, panels, even headlines and stand firsts? I’ve edited several magazines, consumer and trade: seeing the big picture is my second nature
Subbing/proofing
Immaculate copy, beating deadlines and obsessing on details: these are some of my favourite things. And - bonus! - I can even tell Quark from InDesign…
Commercial copywriting and PR
I’m well-versed in advertorials, ad promotions, brochures, events, public relations and even marketing, because editing consumer magazines, you can’t help but learn to be snappy with a strapline. Let me turn your turgid text into something so sparkling and seductive the reader can’t wait to answer your come-on
