"Easy reading is damn hard writing"

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Who am I and what do I do?

I'm an author and freelance feature writer, based in the beautiful City of Discovery - that's Dundee, Scotland to you! I can write on most things, and am always open to suggestions, but my main specialities are:

  • Current Affairs

  • Education

  • Football

  • Health & Fitness

  • Italy

  • Music

  • Popular Media

  • Profiles

  • ​Scottish Culture, History and Politics​

  • Sport

  • Technology

  • Travel

  • Vegetarian/Vegan Lifestyle


Mostly I write with my tongue very firmly in my cheek, which isn't always all that comfortable, but is pretty much my default setting! However, and this is a BIG 'however"… when required I can instantly metamorphose into a very serious, academic mode with proper research and everything - honest!

By the way, if you're looking for expert insight or consultancy services in a learning or learning technology context, then please hop on over to The McIntosh Partnership to see the goodies on offer there. Alternatively, if you don't want anything written but DO want your own writing scrupulously proofread and copyedited then check out AV Editorial.

I'm open to commissions for magazine and newspaper articles and features so if you have a project in mind that you think I can contribute to then please get in touch via the handily placed button below this spiel.

Oh, and you can still buy any (or all!) of my books – just click on a cover image at the top of this page!
