Writing
Writing is at the heart of everything I do. Most of my writing time goes towards working on books and blog posts, as well as my charity sector comms roles. However, I’m available to provide comment and commentary on topical stories in the press, as well as usually having an idea (or twenty) of my own up my sleeve and ready to pitch. You can find a few of my past favourites on JournoPortfolio, and you may be interested in my awards and accolades as a writer and blogger too.
In my ‘day job’ in the charity sector, I create online content for a variety of audiences, produce informational resources from scratch, and conduct and compile research reports and industry guidance documents. I also proofread and fact-check online webpages, documents and content for other charities and organisations. My expertise centres around disability, chronic illness, non-visible conditions, inclusive education and employment, theatre, literature, and psychology. However, I’m always up for a new creative challenge!
I’m the author of two published books, University And Chronic Illness: A Survival Guide (2020) and How To Do Life With A Chronic Illness (2024). University And Chronic Illness: A Survival Guide is now stocked in colleges and universities across the UK, and How To Do Life With A Chronic Illness made several bestseller lists, including #1 Most Gifted on Amazon following release. The audiobook was also included in Audible’s Most Buzzworthy Listens of Spring 2024!

Charity Sector Communications
My Experience Includes…
- Content Writing – Landing Pages and Blog Posts
- Webinar Creation and Delivery
- Content Editing and Fact-Checking
- Research Report Compilation and Distribution
- Online Factsheet and Resource Creation
- Columnist Roles
- Social Media Content Creation
- Communication Consultancy
Alongside writing and blogging, I work with several charities and social enterprises. Together, we create bespoke online content that supports the aims and objectives of the organisation while helping them engage as many people as possible.
My past roles have included social media management, web content and newsletter writing, communication consultancy, online community management, and media outreach work. I love my current charity roles so much that at present I’m not seeking any additional longer-term commitments, but I do occasionally have availability for individual commissions and shorter-term projects.
As much as I love working in the charity sector and understand first-hand how challenging it is to survive as a charitable organisation in the current climate, I cannot work for free. I do, however, strive to be as flexible as possible, so if I can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
