Based in Somerset, I am a writer and editor with a particular interest in gardening and the arts.  As well as being the author of several books, and a gardening speaker,  I have contributed to The Independent, RHS The Garden magazine, The English Home, Time Out, The Evening Standard, The Daily Telegraph, The Church Times, the Chelsea Fringe and The City Planter.   I am a member of the Garden Media Guild and The Critics’ Circle.

I enjoy the challenge of copywriting and writing copy using a brand’s style and tone of voice. I also have experience of writing SEO copy. Copywriting clients include Bicester Village, The Bicester Collection, Mudwalls Farm, Ashridge Trees, and Polkadot Gallery.

As an editor, I have worked extensively with Metro Publications, on titles such as The London Cookbook, London Oddities, and London’s Hidden Walks.

I have an eye for detail; my writing – whether for books, journalism or PR copy – is concise, clear and always engaging.

Do get in touch if you would like to commission a piece, or if you would like me to help you create original copy for your business or project, or if you would like me to turn existing prose into something to write home about.

As well as art, architecture and gardening, my interests include walks in town and country, contemporary jewellery, ceramics and craft, cream teas (jam on top of clotted cream please, and strictly no sultanas), and open-air swimming in lidos both home and abroad. I am a lapsed (perhaps that should be, ‘resting’?) sour dough baker.  When not at my desk I can be usually be found pottering, secateurs in hand, in my garden or on the allotment.
