Introduction

I am a British writer, photographer and editor. Over the last 12 years I have been commissioned and published as a feature writer by major magazines and newspapers in both Europe and Asia. With datelines from all over the globe, the work has ranged from the robust, 'gonzo' genre of the British 'Lads Mags', such as Loaded and Maxim to the more sedate requirements of The Guardian travel section and Marie Claire UK. I have also worked on guidebooks and political commentaries as both a writer and an editor. I have often been employed as a proofreader and a ghostwriter. Although my work has largely consisted of travel and feature writing, I have also worked extensively as a sub editor on a variety of publications. These have ranged from the trade press to United Nations reports through to NGO case studies. For a time I was also editor-in-chief of the now defunct Absolute Phuket magazine. Previously based in London and Paris, I have been based in Bangkok since 2002.

Experience & Expertise

As both a writer and photographer I have been assigned and published world-wide. Previously based in London and Paris I have, since 2002, been based in Bangkok, Thailand. In addition to work in the field, I have also worked as a magazine editor..... So I do know what it is like on the other side of the desk.
