Overview
I'm an award-winning freelance writer (BBC, The Financial Times, The Guardian, The Sunday Times) and book author. My debut book 'Clearing the Air: the Beginning and the End of Air Pollution' (Bloomsbury, 2019) was shortlisted for the prestigious Royal Society Science Book of the Year Prize. My next book, 'The Last Drop: Solving the World's Water Crisis' (Picador, Pan Macmillan, 2023) was named one of The Times' Top 100 books of 2023. I focus on sustainability, the environment, renewable energy and climate justice.
As a ghostwriter I enjoy helping experts, leaders and academics to tell their story. Not everyone can write for a general readership - and nor should they be expected to. But there are many people out there with important, world-changing insight and research, who simply don't know how to communicate it to a mainstream readership. I help them shape a narrative with maximum impact and page-turning readability. This has included UN bodies, climate leaders and CEOs (plus some I can't link to below, who prefer their ghosts to remain invisible). I specialise in turning difficult-to-understand information into engaging, flowing copy for a mainstream audience.
*FEES NOTE*
► Due to time demands, I have to be very selective about the books I take on. So please ensure your project is a good fit - ie. non-fiction and environmental in focus - before reaching out. But if it is, you have my full attention.
► Book writing is extremely time-consuming, and the costs reflect that. My fees are determined on a project-by-project basis - taking into account the level of research needed, number of interviews etc - but as a rough guide, writing manuscripts of 30,000-40,000 words start at £13,500 / $17,000. Editing only is charged at $500 a day.
You will not get a quality job by opting for the cheapest option. I'm an award-winning author who has appeared at multiple international literature festivals - as such, you can be assured of an extremely high standard. Your book will stand the test of time.
