Hello…

I write for market-leading titles such as the Guardian, MOJO, the Independent, Record Collector, the Quietus and Kerrang!.

I have authored four books (and am currently working on my fifth).

I write press releases and promotional copy for artists great and small, along with sleevenotes for reissues.

I have line-edited and copy-edited books.

I have edited magazines and sections of magazines.

I am a freelance sub-editor experienced in working on consumer, business-to-business, listings and IFE publications.

I have been a regular guest on BBC 6Music and Times Radio, and have lectured in Music Journalism at City University in London.

So, if you need words written, or you need the words you have written finessed, or you need someone to make sure your words reach the page as intended, or you need someone to speak words aloud on-air or in front of other warm-blooded mammals, please do drop me a line.

I also cook a mean pizza. Photos here.
