About me

As an experienced journalist, magazine editor, blogger and marketing copywriter, I offer a broad variety of content and writing services to businesses of all sizes and shapes. Whether you need help with writing or editing your publication, starting your own magazine, sharpening up your website or creating a brilliant brochure – if it needs to be written, I can help. Blogs, news stories and newsletters will all be spot on with a bit of help from White Spot Communications. I've worked in newspapers, magazines - both consumer and B2B - online media and marketing, writing about pretty much any topic you could mention. If you don't know what you need to say, or can't find either the right words or the time, get in touch for a chat and find out how affordable professional writing can be.
