About Me

I have a Combined Honours degree from the University of Birmingham in English and History. Once I’d finished my studies, I decided I wanted to save the world, and became a social worker.

I soon decided that I’d rather save the world on a voluntary, part-time basis and build my career around my love of words. Which is what I’ve done since the age of 22. I joined a small publishing company, helped to write a book and, three months later, found myself as editor of a national magazine on local history.

When, one day, I came to work to find that the company was no more, I decided to become a copywriter because my best friend was one. And here I am, more than 20 years later.

In May 2009, I launched a new website which will be the home for my training and mentoring services. My mum always said I should be a teacher! My aim through this is to help businesses create better copy for themselves. You'll find this at http://www.thecopywritingcoach.co.uk

I also write in my spare time and am a member of the prestigious Leicester Writers’ Club. After all that sitting at a computer, I keep fit through martial arts. I already hold a black belt in a Japanese style of karate and am currently learning Tae kwon do.

So, is this the kind of basis you want to work on? If so, contact me about effective copywriting and training today.
