I write feature articles, primarily. I've done so for most national newspapers in the UK, as well as for magazines ranging from the popular to the arcane.

Travel pieces make up a substantial part of my output. In researching them, I've had occasion to leap off a cliff in Zambia, get uncomfortably close to polar bears in the Canadian north, and notch up a 1,503rd placing in the world's longest downhill ski race.

For all that, the true freelancer is as shameless an omnivore as the common rat, and I'll cover pretty much any subject. I've enjoyed writing on politics and public life, language and media, rock music, food and drink, classic cars and intellectual property, among countless other topics. I can often manage a swift turnaround on copy.

I'm also an experienced editor, having looked after magazines, books and newspaper supplements. I'm happy to advise on editorial projects and provide consultancy services.
