About

WRITER, EDITOR, HUMAN

Words have always been my thing. When I was little, new words, interesting words and the jigsaw-piece click of the perfect word to express something were simple, instinctive pleasures, and still are. After school, I did my bookworm duty and got a degree in English Literature, which I put to use in London by working in book and magazine publishing for over a decade. I then moved to Norwich with my family, where I continue to work on a variety of words-driven projects, for clients all over the country, and sometimes beyond. I care very much about writing and stories, and am always interested to see what the right words can do to share ideas and help the common good.

Beyond paid work as a freelance writer and editor, I try to keep doing things that get me out beyond the silo of the day-to-day. I was until recently a governor at a Norwich junior school. Before that, I volunteered on a schools-based history project, ran English-language workshops for parents from immigrant communities who wanted to be able to help with their children’s education, and was a volunteer interviewer on an oral history project that documented the lives of people living in Kings Cross in London. Beyond work entirely, I am the proud mother of twin boys, a stepmother (of the non-evil kind) and, like everyone else, mostly busy just getting on with it.
