Experienced wordy type with a penchant for technology. I've worked with words since 2010, and have moved from student newspapers and cultural magazines to technical writing and copywriting. I can work in Agile, as part of a team, remotely, on-site, solo, in airports, in kitchens, you name it.

Find me on LinkedIn, or have a look around this blog for more details of my experience.

If you're looking for a writer for a technology team, have a look at my Technical Writing and Technical Copywriting experience.

If you need someone to review a show or write up an interview, check out my Cultural Journalism chops.

My broad interest in messing about with words led me to learn French both in English schools and Provençal farm-houses. I'm tentatively working on Dutch and Arabic, too. I've lived in England, Scotland, France, the Netherlands and now Ireland, and I'm familiar with all modern forms of travel and communication (though I prefer email). I am working on my knowledge of Machine Learning, Python, SQL and bouldering. I do not actually fight crime.

Technical Writing

Product owners and engineers will often insist that their product is so user-friendly they don't need documentation. They then turn to Technical Writers when they find out that that is not the case. I started working with doc-department (now merged into 3di information solutions ) straight out of university and hit the ground running, learning all about technical communications, information design and managing projects. Have a look at some of my handiwork here: doc-department API documentation examples This examples mini-site gives a good indication of the power of high-quality technical writing. Using the right tools you can write a piece of content once and have it converted into multiple different formats. We call this single-sourcing. Read more about single-sourcing here Tech Writers often also double up as UX writers or Technical Copywriters.

Edinburgh Fringe 2019

I am currently conducting a long-distance love affair with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It's tough going, but it's worth it to keep our relationship alive. This year my work was shortlisted for the Allen Wright Award for journalism at the Fringe. I spoke to three performers about their shows for publication in The Skinny and her sister magazine Fest: Sophie Duker The Skinny July 2019 Duker runs a monthly comedy night in London, and is taking her debut full-length show to the Fringe. We spoke about 'wokeness', being a token, and the creative process. Magical Bones Fest July 2019 Bones is a professional dancer-turned-magician, who combines his passions in a unique magical style. We spoke about history, race and what magic really is. Isma Almas Fest August 2019 Almas' show about adoption started making waves in Edinburgh, so my editor asked me to speak with her on a 48-hour deadline. We had a lovely chat, I learned a lot about the adoption process, and we made...
