I am currently dividing my time between ghostwriting, copywriting and copy-editing.
While my specialities are sport, biography, food and popular history, I pride myself on being able to write informatively and entertainingly about just about anything. My track record encompasses everything from writing Times obituaries and promotional material for Laurence Olivier's son's corporate training company to a column in Penthouse and ghostwriting for Paul McCartney. I have authored or co-authored 17 books, written restaurant flyers and worked for a pioneering text service which undertook to answer any conceivable question in 150 characters or less. This diverse background has taught me a lot about tailoring tone and content to audience.
I am also a benign pedant and grammar fascist, which are useful attributes for copy-editing, copywriting and proofreading. I recently completed a course at the Publishing Training Centre in London to hone these skills. I'm also not a bad mimic, which comes in handy for ghostwriting.
