As a journalist I've written for The Times, Independent, Guardian, Telegraph, Daily Mail, South China Morning Post, magazines such as Woman & Home (I wrote their techonology column as well as features), Easy Living, Woman, Woman's Own (regular column 2007-8), OnOffice, Virgin's Hotline, Voyager (gadgets column ran for 18 months) along with various online/trade/in-flight magazines. I specialise in topics such as education, families and parenting, women's lifestyle, and consumer technology.
Editorial posts include education site TheSchoolRun.com (2010-2011) working across the main site, member site and publishing imprint. Back in the early days of blogging (2006-2009), I launched and edited Bridalwave.tv for Shiny Media. With a strong pedigree in digital editing and growing brands online, I can provide/ commission exclusive content for your website or blog.
Speaking roles include digital journalism, the changing world of digital publishing (with almost a million book sales to my name, I know what I'm talking about!) and tailored masterclasses.
My first non-fiction title Student Parents: The Essential Guide came out in February 2011. If you're looking for my USA Today bestselling mystery novels, go here.
