We all know that’s not true. A cruel word can cut like a knife. A kind word can make all the difference. A single word can move us to tears or have us crying with laughter. Some words stay with us for the rest of our lives. Words matter.

But finding the right word isn’t always easy. You need a professional. That’s where I come in.

I've always had a way with words. That’s what led me to study English at Cambridge. Since then, I’ve honed my skills working with household names, worldwide brands and British institutions including Apple, Penguin, Pan Macmillan, the Home Office and the Department of Energy & Climate Change.

When I’m not writing copy, I’m writing fiction. In fact, I’m an award-winning picture book author and my books have been published in multiple languages all over the world.

Which means I’m equally comfortable whether my audience is six or sixty. And if you need serious or silly, I can do that.

So, if you need to make an impression, let me put in a good word for you.
