Overview
Since going freelance I have enjoyed the variety of writing and editing books for a wide range of readers, having recently written a set of pre-school storybooks, edited a recipe book about slime and written a guide to Robot Wars.
I love writing and editing books for children and take great care to ensure my work is age-appropriate, entertaining and most importantly, lots of fun to read.
