I'm a freelance journalist and writer specialising in funny first-person pieces and reporting on the latest social trends. 

I cover anything new and exciting, writing thought-provoking features which cut to the heart of any subject.

Other editorial services I undertake include copywriting, editing and proofreading. I always meet deadlines, and make sure my writing is sharp, accurate and original. I also happen to be a Lynne Trussite grammar fanatic, and quite frankly, there is little I wouldn't do to rid this world of apostrophes in the wrong places.

 After graduating with a degree in English Literature from Cambridge in 2000, I wanted to make a career as a writer somehow. In 2002, I was commissioned to write my book about a young woman's philosophical search for happiness, The Agony of Ecstasy, which came out in spring 2004.

A year later, armed with my trusty PGDip in magazine journalism, I landed a feature writing job at women's mag REAL. It was a fantastic job - finally I was being paid regularly to do what I love - seek out and talk with interesting people, and write about all kinds of fascinating, new and secret things.

After some time, I realised I could do even better freelancing, so I took the plunge and started writing for a host of papers and magazines, including the Observer/Guardian, Telegraph, Times,  Red, Prima, Brides, Grazia and many more.

So, I can write, and I'm also very friendly - please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss any commissions or feature ideas.
