I am a writer, editor and indexer with more than 30 years’ experience creating print and digital content for book publishers, magazines, newspapers, healthcare organisations and business clients.
My writing has appeared in a 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, parenting, fashion and beauty to books, music, travel 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.
Alongside writing and editing, I provide professional 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.
