BESIDES MAGAZINES, WHO ELSE DO I WRITE FOR?
Newspaper and online experience
National
I've contributed a number of features to national newspapers including The Daily Express, Daily Mirror, Guardian, Independent, News of the World, Times Higher Education Supplement, Mail on Sunday and The Sunday Times.
Regional
I've been published in over 30 British regional newspapers, with around 15-30+ pieces in The Manchester Evening News; The Evening Echo, Cork; The Evening Times, Glasgow; The Evening Mail, Birmingham; The Bristol Evening Post's Seven magazine and The Eastern Daily Press's Norfolk magazine.
Online
I've written for several top women's websites, like handbag (around 20 pieces), mykindaplace, tickle - part of Monster Group and MSN beauty live channel. I'm not providing the links as I need you to stay here with me!
WHAT DO I WRITE ABOUT?
As well as my current main interest of "real-life stories", like yours, my other key journalistic specialist areas are psychology, health and showbiz.
Psychology expertise
Features
I write well-researched psychology features and reportage using my psychology degree with honours. Topics have included relationships, sexuality, personality, addictions, behaviour, emotions, everyday life, mental illness, work issues, etc. This background and insight also proves immensely helpful when doing true stories with an emotional/medical/psychological element.
Quizzes
I've also compiled around 70 high-quality psychology quizzes (self-help personality tests). I've done quizzes for Psychologies, Company, Take a Break (which sells over a million copies a week) and other publications. The quizzes have been syndicated in Holland, United Arab Emirates, USA, India, South Africa and Australia. I'm very proud of how my popular writing style has made psychological principles accessible to millions Worldwide.
Health journalism
Women's, men's and children's health is another major specialism for me. Hundreds of the articles I've written have had a health element - usually with a strong emotional twist. Topics have included extremes of agoraphobia, alopecia, anaesthetics, birth marks, blindness, brain tumours, cancers, cerebral palsy, dentistry, dyslexia, eating disorders, meningitis, "miracle babies", phobias (e.g. birth, dentist, fish, vomit), plastic surgery, pregnancy problems, skin conditions (e.g. thread veins, vitiligo, xeroderma pigmentosum), slimming, tranquillizer addiction, triplets, weight loss, etc.
Celebrity interviews
This includes popping into MTV in London, past Craig David, to interview presenter Alex Zane; chatting down Coronation Street with Kevin Webster (Michael le Vell) or Liz MacDonald (Beverley Callard) in her dressing room for the front cover of Slimmer; to chatting on the couch with Richard and Judy for the TV Times, Bella and other publications, to doing a piece with an all singing, all dancing Norman Wisdom at home on the Isle of Man. See the other CELEBRITIES I've interviewed.
