Writer, Author, Editor, Journalist and Lecturer
Hello and welcome to my site,
If you’ve got a story to tell you’ve come to the right place! People have been sharing tales to make sense of themselves and their place in the world for thousands of years. They hold the power to transform lives, fashion heroes from victims, draw comedy out of tragedy, find hope in despair and reveal beauty in the small stuff.
In my career as a writer, I’ve been lucky to work as a book editor with UK and US authors, agents and publishers on developing fiction and non fiction including adaptations and memoirs as well as interviewing inspiring people from all walks of life as a journalist. Many interviewees have demonstrated the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit. Some highlights include Holocaust survivor and psychologist Dr Edith Eger and Gandhi’s grandson Arun, who followed in his grandfather’s footsteps as a socio-political activist for peace. They shared invaluable wisdoms about the human condition that moved me to tears as well as laughter. You can read some of their stories in the Interviews section.
Now more than ever the power of the written or spoken word is needed to lift spirits, unite cultures and countries, extricate truth from white noise, as well as spread love and laughter.
Perhaps you have a story to share? You may be at the first stage looking for guidance, or an agent, publisher or author that wants book or script development for publication. Drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you.
