I am a freelance writer based in Nottingham, UK and Vancouver, Canada, specialising in feature articles, case studies, company profiles, corporate communications, web content and technical writing.

My topic areas range across science, technology, transport, archaeology, industrial archaeology, travel and education.

Over the last 35 years I have written for trade magazines, corporate publications and newspapers. I have edited children's books and scientific journals. I have created manuals, guides, marketing and training materials. IT-literate, I am experienced in desktop publishing and image manipulation.

At present I am studying for an MA in Historical Archaeology at the University of Leicester, with a leaning towards industrial archaeology.

Photography

I also offer a service that I call "Shoot on Site". If the on-site story doesn't demand the work of a Cartier Bresson or a David Bailey, I'll provide a set of imaginative 300dpi digital photographs illustrating what I write. Shoot on Site avoids having to send a second body, or having to rely on the sometimes doubtful skills of local sources. You can see a few of my images here.

If you require a more professional, high resolution approach, I recommend David Barrett, a photographer possessing many megapixels of skill and creativity.

My personal web site, Two At Large, now 13 years old, shares some of my experiences of a varied lifestyle.

My industrial archaeology web site, Fires of Prometheus, refklects my interest in old, rusty or dusty things.

My blog, Doing...not doing, occasionally affords puzzling glimpses of a peculiar psyche.
