My Story
Behind the Words
A dual-citizen living in London, I grew up in America. Working in post-production in Los Angeles in the film and television industry, I always had one foot in the writing world. But, it wasn’t until I finished my Master's Degree I realised how important cultural understanding and historical research is to the writing process.
As an experienced writer and ghostwriter, my most valuable skill is adaptability. In my own essays and reviews, I strive to develop my own literary style. When approaching ghost and editorial projects, I research the background of the subject and write in the voice of the client. For editing projects and re-writes, I always consider the author's original intent.
To find out more or to discuss a potential project, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

"I would just like to say what a pleasure it was to have you interpret my ramblings into a very readable account of my journey through life. You were always patient and helpful, particularly when I wanted to add or change something.
I am most pleased with the end product, especially as I did not know what I really wanted before we started. I will always be grateful for your guidance and expertise. Thank you."
