I am a writer and editor with 30 years’ experience creating content for magazines, book publishers, newspapers, healthcare organisations and business clients. Alongside writing and editing, I also provide indexing services and I knit vintage-style clothes and accessories inspired by my love of literature.
My writing has featured in publications, including Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Red, Stylist, Prima, Top Santé, Mother & Baby, Junior, Woman & Home and Good Housekeeping. I have written on subjects ranging from fashion, beauty, books and music to travel, crafts, health and interiors.
I am the author of Escape Domestic Violence, published by Hodder & Stoughton as one of a series of ‘life issues’ books for ITV show This Morning. For my book, I gathered expert advice and survivor stories to support those affected by domestic abuse.
