Since the early 1990s, I have written for a variety of national publications and websites, including Woman & Home, The Evening Standard, The Independent, What’s On In London, Attitude Magazine, The Sunday Times Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph, Allmusic.com and more. I have also written liner notes for album reissues, including a recent reissue package of four Melissa Manchester albums, the complete Maxayn recordings, Rupert Holmes’s Epic years and Chi Coltrane’s CBS collection. More reissue projects are in the works.

MISCELLANY
In addition to writing lifestyle and entertainment features, I have also supplied content for websites including The History Channel, AETN, The Biography Channel, The Natural History Museum, The National Maritime Museum and many more. In the early 1990s, I wrote financial pieces for The Sunday Telegraph and am in the process of gathering together some of those cuttings. In the meantime, here is the first page of the first Sunday Telegraph piece I ever wrote, from around 1994, when I was 19.
