Educational content writing

I'm a writer. My work has appeared in Historic UK, FourFourTwo, The Sabotage Times and Bleacher Report. I was a staff writer for Fella, an up-and-coming men's lifestyle publication, and currently contribute to the football blogs Getting Sacked in the Morning, Football Football Football and The Tale of Two Halves.

Recently, I worked for two years at Mwabu, an ed tech start-up, where I researched, wrote and designed accessible educational content for learners in developing countries such as South Africa.

Outside of my 9-5 job, I write about sports (football, wrestling, MMA, etc), video games (Crash Bandicoot is somewhat of a hero of mine), history (mostly Vikings), and music – but I'm confident writing convincingly across a broad range of subjects.

I've also just finished my first manuscript for a fantasy novel – 190,000 words in all!

As well as creative and narrative writing, I have experience writing copy for advertising and marketing agencies.

I was part of Fella when it launched and helped it grow to over 100,000 Facebook fans within 6 months. I also boosted engagement with audiences via our social media channels, especially Twitter, where I'm known as something of a serial tweeter. Additionally, I'm a dab hand at Photoshop.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me playing football on Saturdays or heading to the gym.
