I am a writer, editor and indexer with more than 30 years’ experience creating print and digital content for publishers, magazines, newspapers, healthcare organisations and business clients.
My writing has appeared in a wide range of national publications, including Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Red, Stylist, Prima, Top Santé, Mother & Baby, Junior, Woman & Home and Good Housekeeping. Throughout my career, I have written on subjects ranging from mental health, wellbeing and parenting to lifestyle, travel, books, music and human-interest stories.
I am also the author of Escape Domestic Violence, published by Hodder & Stoughton in partnership with ITV’s This Morning. The book combines practical guidance, expert advice and survivor stories to support those affected by domestic abuse and those who wish to help them.
Alongside writing and editing, I provide professional book indexing services. Having trained with the Society of Indexers, I create clear, accurate and reader-friendly indexes tailored to the needs of authors and publishers.
Whether I am writing a feature, editing content or compiling an index, my focus is always the same: making information accessible, engaging and useful for readers.
