I'm offering
I am a published author, screenwriter, journalist and copy editor with more than 30 years experience. I am also well versed in writing copy for web, blog and pretty much all media platforms.
Prior to the publication of my first book I was Senior Editor of several high street magazines in the UK - Reality Magazine, Odyssey Magazine and Xtreme Magazine. I am currently the author of six published books, including two novels, and I have also written four commissioned screenplays as well as two low-budget screenplays for the British Film Institute.
My other interests include making music, and in this regard I have produced many recordings and I have also composed music for video and film. Over the years I have found that freelancing is the perfect way for me to utilise my various skills to maximum effect.
