A little about me

I’ve earned my living exclusively from writing since the age of 18 (and that was a long time ago!). I began as a junior reporter on my local evening newspaper, graduated to writing for national newspapers and local radio stations as a Press Agency news and sports reporter, then moved into television as a Promotions Scriptwriter and subsequently Promotions Producer.

I became a freelance writer in 1979, since when I have notched up over 2000 TV credits as writer, script editor and programme associate for ITV, BBC, Channel 4, Five, Sky One and RTE, working in just about every genre known to television. I wrote my first corporate script back in 1982 and have continued to work in that area ever since, and since 1992 I have been devising and running Creative Writing workshops for students of all ages.

I am a full member of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain www.writersguild.org.uk and the National Association of Writers in Education www.nawe.co.uk.

You’ll find fuller details of the things I’ve done and what I have to offer elsewhere on this site, but if you’d like to know more, or have any questions, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
