Writer and development editor
CONTENT THAT CONNECTS
As a writer, I produce thoughtful and engaging content for websites, non-fiction books, exhibitions, reports and other forms of text-based output. Whatever the context, I work hard to generate or thread together information, ideas and stories that really connect with an audience. As a development editor, I help other people realise their ambitions for written content, acting both as a sounding board and creative guide. Whichever professional hat I’m wearing, the focus of my work is to help both organisations and individuals get really clear on what needs to be said, and how best to say it.

I live and work in Norwich but my clients are also in London, elsewhere in the UK and, sometimes, further afield. I mostly work in the heritage, not-for-profit, publishing and visual arts sectors but I also take on commercial writing commissions. As a flexible and experienced writer and development editor, I can take on pretty much any project where words need to do an excellent job of getting people interested in particular messages, information or ideas. I produce content for websites, develop book concepts, evaluate manuscripts, edit novels, create exhibition texts, write toolkits, generate content plans, think up slogans, consult on branding, etc. But whatever kind of project I take on, I am always motivated by what well-chosen words can do to help support both people and positive change.
