Successful writing is about matching great style with top content. As an experienced freelance writer specialising in article writing and ghostwriting, I can provide you with that perfect combination, adapted to suit your needs. I have written books and articles on subjects including history, management, and finance. Much of my work is ghost-writing, so I am used to adapting to someone else's preferred style and tone. I have post-graduate qualifications in history, teaching, and social science, as well as a management diploma, and so am well equipped to research and write in these areas. As a fiction writer, I specialise in fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction. I have ghost-written novels in these genres, receiving average ratings above four stars on Amazon. I have also written westerns, historical fiction, contemporary fiction, and some romance. Creative writing is one of my passions, and this is reflected in the creative style I bring to all my writing. I have written web content for a range of companies from industrial tooling manufacturers to specialist web services. I can adapt my writing to suit your audience and subject matter. With over a decade of experience writing within a company and then as a freelancer, I am used to writing for a wide range of audiences and maintaining a style that will fit your brand.

Former Head of English at an International School in Malaysia, my first graphic novel will be available from April 2019. Artwork commissions in the past year have included portraits, comic book illustrations and album covers. I am a published author of both fiction and non fiction. Versatile in my artwork across a number of mediums, though my preferred style is highly detailed drawing in pencil or ink.

From fiction to non-fiction, and across multiple disciplines I have turned my pen to many different writing projects.
