Two decades on Fleet Street's national newspapers, including deputy news editor at the Sunday Mirror and deputy political editor covering Westminster.
Journalism
I have worked as a senior journalist and editor at national level throughout my career, most recently as Deputy News Editor at the Sunday Mirror and before that as Deputy Political Editor at Trinity Mirror, covering Westminster for a group of national and regional titles.
I am available for freelance shifts at national newspapers and for commissioned features across news, politics, culture and long-form narrative journalism.

Freelance Features
Daily Mirror
I write features across a broad range of subjects with extensive experience in news, investigations, political reporting and long-form journalism, across digital and print platforms. I was a columnist and leader writer.
Ghostwriting & Consultancy
Alongside my journalism, I take on a small number of ghostwriting and media consultancy projects each year. I have current availability and am taking on a small number of new clients.
Book Ghostwriting
I work with founders, executives and public figures who have a book in them but not the time to write it. I handle the whole process, from shaping the idea and structure through to delivering a polished manuscript, while the voice and story remain entirely yours.
Media Consultancy
I help organisations and individuals understand how the media works, how to get coverage, and how to handle it when it comes. Drawing on two decades of national newspaper experience, I offer practical, no-nonsense advice on press strategy, media relations and communications.
Media Training
One-to-one and group sessions for executives, spokespeople and organisations preparing to deal with the national press. I teach how journalists think, how to control an interview, and how to get your message across without getting burned.
