I offer high-quality work based on years of experience. I'm reliable, unflappable and an all-round jolly nice person. But more importantly, I can write what you want, how you want it for when you want it. I won’t be beaten by a deadline and can spot details at a hundred paces. And I thrive on doing large projects that start in a state of confusion and need serious whipping into shape. Originality is a given. And what I write is in grammatically correct English (you can let me know what sort of correct English you prefer – British or American style). It's also entertaining to read and won't send you to sleep. However, if for some odd reason you want text that makes peoples’ eyelids droop, I’ll try my best to help you. The following is only a brief summary of the work I do and have done. If what you need doesn’t quite fit with what I’ve written, feel free to contact me anyway. I may be able to help. Whether it’s a teeny-tiny task you need a quick hand with or you’re looking for someone to commit to a few months working on a book (or anything in between), let’s talk! If it makes you happy, you can simply hand over the details of your task and I'll get on with it. For larger projects, I'll send you a brief weekly update. Or if you're an anxious person who likes to be kept informed of what's going on at every stage, that's fine too. I can be flexible in my approach so you don't have to be. *** Services include: Writing and ghost-writing I can write copy based on your brief, notes or rough draft.

I have had two novels published under my own name (both historical fantasy) and have ghostwritten many more.
