My Writing

I have been working as a part-time freelance writer since 2003, and am now looking to break new ground.

Most of my contracts have been rewrites of articles for the Prospects and jobs4u websites, as well as original material for Hobsons plc, Nursing Times, Nursing Standard and Eurograduate.

I have also written newspaper articles, press releases, funding bids, reports, newsletters, learning materials and theoretical pieces.

This year I wrote my first book, a Real Life Guide on Information and Communications Technology* for Trotman and would like to write another one soon. But I am still keen to pick up new non-fiction writing and editing contracts with a particular emphasis on writing for the internet.

Feel free to browse my samples, CV and testimonials and to contact me with work proposals - or of course there's the inevitable blog.

P.s. If you want to become a writer yourself or are looking for careers advice, try my Useful Links page, which will be updated regularly.
