WRITER OF ALL TRADES
master of... oh, never mind
Once upon a time I had a particularly awkward meeting with an editor (think Devil Wears Prada). Flicking through my portfolio she said to me: "So this just shows me you've done a bit of everything." (Insert sneer here).
I replied: "No, it just shows you I can do anything."
I didn't say that. It occurred to me about a minute after I left the interview room. Don't you just hate that...
But both statements are true - I've just done a bit of everything, and I can do just about anything. Let's limit that to writing.
I have worked for national newspapers and magazines; I've written about business, cars, construction, celebrities, films, food, restaurants, real life, fashion, parenting, relationships, activism and health - I've even written about water coolers; I've written newsletters, press releases, information booklets, op-eds; I've edited trade magazines and niche publications; I've published my own parenting mag, and guest-written chapters and forwards for books...
If you would like to see the full CV, cuttings or references, or would like to discuss a project, then please don't hesitate to contact me. You'll find all relevant details on the contact page.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR...
I have a long-ago abandoned blog at RattleTat where you'll find over-opinionated pieces from yesteryear.
I also do stuff for free. Go to I Like Thinking to find out more...
