Do you need a features writer? A news writer? A copywriter? You’ve come to the right place.

With more than a decade spent working in the regional press, I have experience of a wide range of news and feature writing.

Right now, I mainly write for my own site, Brighton and Hove News, which reaches more than 150,000 visitors a month – not bad for a two-man team.

However, I am always available for freelance commissions, such as this feature on 50 years of the Brighton Festival in the Telegraph.

And with a strong online background, I can also suggest new and fresh ways of reporting.
