I love to write stories, plays, puzzles, quizzes, captions, games, facts,
cartoon strips, jokes, craft ideas, activity ideas – and lots more!
I have great copywriting and editing skills, with experience of project managing many titles from concept to publication.
I also have a fantastic contacts book full of other talented creatives, including designers, illustrators, photographers, craft makers and writers.
I can convert print books to eBooks, and have edited a range of titles, from the award-winning 'Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical' by Robert Shearman to the popular 'Doctor Who: Short Trips' series of books and audio books.
