WRITING & MEDIA EXPERIENCE
I have been writing for many years in one format or another. I have provided features, interviews and content for books, magazines, fanzines and websites.
Over the years, I have supplied photos for books and CD artwork and have compiled track listings for a record label. I enjoyed taking part in discussions for new product lines and brand promotion with Dr Martens, and introduced them to new advertising partnerships.
I am currently writing for a US health website, providing a ghost writing service to a client, and writing guest posts for other websites and blogs.
On the social media side of things, I am currently creating content and managing several band pages, as well as providing a consultancy service to Summerley Digital and private clients.
