I am a freelance writer specialising in food science, food technology and microbiology. A scientist turned writer, I spent many years working as a microbiologist in the food industry acquiring the practical experience that I now draw upon to help explain complex ideas and information to different audiences.

I have written news and feature articles for the trade press on a range of topics, including food safety and microbiology, packaging and processing technology, sustainable food production and food labelling. I write a regular column for an established European trade journal and I have co-authored and edited several books on food safety. I also edit a web site focusing on food safety and contribute technical articles to other on-line publications. Some examples of my recent work can be viewed on this site.

If you need a specialist science and technology writer with an in-depth knowledge of microbiology and the food industry please contact me. I will be very happy to discuss any writing or editing projects, from a short article for a customer newsletter, or a technical brochure, through to extended features, reports and books.
