Writer • Editor • Communicator

I’m a Cumbria-based freelance writer, editor and proofreader with a passion for words and the great outdoors.

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than exceeding my clients’ expectations by crafting perfectly pitched copy, on time and to budget. (Nothing, that is, except a sunny day hiking in the Lakeland fells, before cooling off with a dip and a refreshing pint of real ale!)

Inspired by my natural surroundings, I’m happy to respond to all sorts of briefs – from writing compelling copy to editing and proofing detailed documentation; and from creating brand style guides to solving complex communications issues.

Whatever you need, you can trust me to come up with the goods: the right words, in the right place, for the right audience at the right time.
