I'm an experienced journalist and editor whose career has been spent in business and technical publishing, writing on general interest technology, economics and politics for specialist readerships. When I get further on in creating this site, I'll put links in here to the magazines and websites that I've worked on. Meanwhile, click here for a basic list of where I've been for the past umpteen years...

I'm also these days doing a part-time MA in English Local History at Leicester University.


Here are some of the kinds of services that I can offer. But if it's a specific need you have and it isn't specifically here, then call me: phone numbers etc on the Contact page.

I'm not pretending this list of activities or potential activities is comprehensive, and I'll do most things that are legal, just so long as I can have a bit of fun as well (and getting paid is good too).
