I offer a range of writing and research skills, based on experience and training in social and environmental issues, women's issues, international politics, arts and public health. My writing credits in these areas include Public Health News, Ethical Consumer, Red Pepper, Women's ENews and City Life, as well as internet sites across the world. My writing and research has always demanded great attention to detail, and I have London College of Printing training in proofing and editing to add to this. This makes both my written and edited work exact and accurate.
