Writing & editing work
I'll happily point travellers in the right direction to spot elusive wildlife, savour regional flavours, or share a cracking story with locals.
I know my peaks from my piques, I can pronounce Eyjafjallajökull, and I know where the apostrophes go.
Copywriting
I work with companies to provide effective marketing material and sparkling social media copy, with current clients including Icelandair and Austurland (East Iceland).
Editing
I advise organisations that seek clear, concise text, and provide editing services to companies ranging from travel publishers and airlines to government departments.
Guidebook writing
Since 2000 I have written more than 50 travel guides for Lonely Planet, the world's leading guidebook publisher. Destinations covered include Greece, Slovenia, Estonia, New Zealand, various regions of Australia, and a heavy dose of the Nordics.
Feature writing
My feature writing is primarily travel-related and has appeared in newspapers, magazines and websites including BBC Travel and Icelandair's in-flight magazine, Stopover. Scroll down for some samples.
Travel articles – a sample
From restaurant reviews to artist interviews, and from social media copy to corporate communications, my experience has been wide-ranging.
