About me.
I’ve been a freelance copywriter, proofreader and copyeditor for 15+ years and work with businesses across the world and in multiple industries, specialising in television but also working for clients in adtech, retail, marketing and education.
​
Before going freelance, I spent more than 10 years in the international TV business, first in marketing at Carlton International (now ITV Studios) and then at The Lippin Company, a B2B TV PR agency. Both roles involved writing and proofreading copy about TV shows – synopses, one-sheets, listings, press releases, or anything else to get commissioners, buyers or journalists interested. And after more companies started to ask me for help with their copy, I decided to go freelance.
​​
Now I work from my home in Hertfordshire, fuelled by coffee, chocolate biscuits and thoughtfully staring out the window. I still write and proofread for ITV Studios, as well as All3Media International, Narrative Entertainment/Great! TV, smartclip and Morplan. I’ve also worked with companies such as RTL AdAlliance, Fox Networks, Studiocanal, Sony Pictures Television, Gateway Qualifications, Bavaria Film and Keshet.
