SkillsCV (Curriculum Vitae) / Résumé
I’m a writer who emerged blinking into the daylight in 2008 after 14 years in specialist factual TV. I’ve written everything from Radio Times listings, scripts, web articles, hotel & restaurant reviews to 200 page treatments. I have a degree in zoology, so I can be serious and scientific to order, but my brain is also seething with information about foreign parts, films, food, photography, TV, taxidermy, music and the etymology of the word ‘gusset’. I’m also a pitiless proofreader and editor.
