I started my commercial career producing an in-house magazine (for a GEC company), and I've continued to create, edit, and write magazines and newsletters for internal and external audiences.

I have also written plenty of individually commissioned features, covering topics ranging from tropical disease research to the future of branch banking. Although I am not a technical writer, I can talk to people intelligently enough on technical topics to present those topics in a readable and accurate way for non-technical audiences. I've written a lot of feature material for BT's research labs as a result.

Basic editorial skills, knowing how to capture interest through headlines, balancing copy across a page and presenting readers with an immediate hook which will encourage them to read on; these are essential elements of everything I do.
