I'm delighted to announce that I've been commissioned by Bradt Guides to write a guidebook to the Turkish Riviera. What an excuse to deep-dive Turkish food and culture! If you know any restaurants, hotels, or attractions from Antalya to Izmir, now's the time to get in touch!

Uta Hagen was a fascinating character with some practical suggestions for enhancing acting. Here's my piece on her method for Mandy.com. mandy.com/magazine/artic…

@HannahKeegan Pitched you in an email Hannah.

I'm delighted to have worked with trip reporter.co.uk and Hayfield Manor, Cork, to write this review. Take a look then take a trip! Hayfield Manor Hotel, Cork. Enjoy the Home From Home of Cork’s Only Five Star Hotel tripreporter.co.uk/hayfield-manor… #hayfieldmanor #hotel #Cork

@RayKelleherCork Good morning to you! I'm trying to locate an email address for the person at The Montenotte responsible for marketing. This is to discuss a potential press visit. Any help you can give would be gratefully received. Thanks.

@LifelinesScot Thank you for what you do. We need to be more literate in our own mental health and to still work on encouraging the culture of saying 'it's okay to not be okay'. That's why I wrote this, to keep up the work of dismantling the stigma.

Thank you @JDMurphyWriting 👏 This is why we're help emergency service folk understand the psychological hazards they face. We must mitigate their impact if possible, and recognise if we get injured so we can get help. No-one should have to struggle on. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@UKTravelWriter @howard_tcg I couldn't have wished for a better mentor and guide. You deserve to win by a mile.

What a wonderful way to end the week! Thrilled to be nominated in the best mentor category at #TravYuleTheBaubles2024 run by @howard_tcg Mentoring has been a large part of my life this year & I've really enjoyed watching my mentee @JDMurphyWriting gain confidence in the industry

Come join my team, we're hiring! We're looking for a new Digital Travel Reporter, comes with too many office snacks and fun trips newscareers.co.uk/vacancies/3476…

Such a useful guide - not just for travel agents but for anyone who wants to get their understanding of sustainable travel on point. Thanks @Intrepid_Travel intrepidtravel.com/uk/newsroom/re…

Here's another article in my theatre niche. Enjoyed researching this one. Any excuse to read Jez Butterworth or Michael McDonagh's early vitriol! Thank you again @HollyOMahony and @UKTravelWriter mandy.com/uk/magazine/ar…

Very important information for travellers (and travel writers!) x facebook.com/reel/729046782…

Class representation matters. Without it, people end up thinking Eton messes like Boris Johnson are something near normal. Next thing you know they vote them into power. It's normal to be working class. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/a…

Here's my latest theatre and acting piece. Monologues From Plays to Impress in an Audition via @BackStage mandy.com/uk/magazine/ar… Many thanks to @HollyOMahony for her editorial guidance and @UKTravelWriter for the best mentoring in the business.

I've been working on a series of assignments for the theatre/culture side of my niche. Very happy to have a growing collection of articles published via Mandy.Com and StarNow Magazine. mandy.com/magazine/autho… #WritingCommunity #freelancer #Writer

@FoodismUK Hi, are you taking pitches at the moment? I have a timely article with a good fit for one of your sections. Thanks.

One small step for a travel writer, one giant leap for a firefighter... here's my first travel writing commission: weather2travel.com/blog/best-ther…
