I started on The Stage and while I was there became rock critic for the Financial Times. I joined the Daily Mail to write showbusiness news/features and later went to Today (at its award-winning peak) to write major features. I wrote features for The Times for some years, interviewing film stars, politiicians, authors etc. I have also written for Daily Mail Weekend Magazine, Mail on Sunday You Magazine, Daily Telegraph, Guardian, independent, Daily Express, The People, The Sun, The Daily Mirror, the News of the World, Woman and Woman's Own. I review radio drama for The Stage.
Specialist areas
I specialise in in-depth interviews, with arts/showbiz celebrities, authors and those in the public eye but also with anyone with a great story to tell. I am very experienced in dealing with subjects of an emotional nature. I am always looking for great celebrity health stories as well as general health/medical stories that are newsy or which bring a new spin to the subject. I also cover property, travel and lifestyle and am keen on quirky ideas - which often come from the publishing world. I have contributed to just about every national over the years and know instinctively where to place any particular story.
