Other information: I have a very broad range of experience as a journalist in newspapers, magazines, radio and tv. More recently, I have been working for a PR company whose clients include Emma Bridgewater, Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Staffordshire Police, Merchant Cash Express, The British Ceramic Confederation and JET Business.

I have also provided strategic media relations advice to NHS North West, Staffordshire University and the Council of Ethnic Minority Voluntary Sector Organisations.

I have still have some limited capacity for freelance work and will be very glad to hear from anyone who needs either media relations advice or writing. As well as articles for print and online, my skill set has now been extended to include extensive use of social media, brochure and leaflet writing, website administration and placing articles in leading consumer and trade publications for clients.
