About
I specialise in health and lifestyle writing – providing content for websites, magazines, newspapers, books and leaflets to style, to length and on time!
With more than 25 years’ experience under my belt, I enjoy tackling topics from pregnancy and parenting to menopause and cancer and I’m very good at making complicated things easy to understand.
I’m also available for consultancy work and – as a former visiting lecturer at Westminster University – I offer training and strategy advice to PR companies.
I’ve edited the health pages on Britain’s best-selling women’s magazine, contributed features to most national newspapers, and written for charities and corporate clients.
So far I’ve written eight books – including ones on sex, on women’s health and on prostate problems – and I also worked as a ghost writer for a book about the founding of Weight Watchers.
Writing
Besides writing for most of Britain’s national newspapers and many magazines in the UK and around the world, I’ve also produced patient information leaflets for charities and a variety of PR material, from press releases to booklets.
