I'm a journalist with more than 30 years experience of writing for the national press.
I also work as a copywriter and editor.
Journalists have to write clear, concise, engaging copy - and so does anyone who has to write at work.
I qualified as a trainer and set up The Sentence Works in 2014 to help individuals and companies to transform their writing at work. I've worked with the NHS, local councils, charities, solicitors, entrepreneurs...and London Zoo.
