| I am
a freelance journalist - specialising principally on sport - writing for a number of British and American publications, both in print and online.
My strength is my versatility and wide range of contacts, breaking stories and interviewing the people who matter in a variety of different sports, while focusing primarily on basketball, athletics and various Olympic sports.
Basketball
is a speciality - I am the editor of MVP Magazine, the UK's leading publication in the sport - as well as serving as basketball correspondent for a number of
British newspapers. I cover international basketball as a correspondent for ESPN.com and I pontificate regularly on the NBA for Give Me Sport as well as writing a weekly betting blog at Unibet. I formerly edited and published
Britball.com, which provided the most comprehensive coverage of the sport in the UK and
Ireland.
I contribute to a variety of publications on athletics and triathlon in the UK and overseas, including several national newspapers and Athletics Weekly and am the current chair of the British Athletics Writers Association.
For my work, I have been shortlisted both in the British Sports Journalism Awards (Investigative Reporter) and the Professional Basketball Writers Association Awards (Game Story). Having previously worked within the NFL in a public relations role, I am also a keen observer and
commentator on American football - and have reported from both Super Bowls
and World Bowls after Europe chronicling the ups and (first) downs of the much-lamented but now defunct Scottish Claymores. My Only
in America column ran for several years, chronicling the madness
behind the games.
Additionally, I have been contracted to a number of major events, including the London 2012 Olympic Games and various FIBA basketball championships, to provide in-house content, media guides and other reports.
On top, I have written six books - all on the subject of sport and aimed at children - including 'Basketball Legends' and the Top Score series.
More generally, I also undertake specific copy-writing commissions. Head here for info Outside of sport, I've contributed to publications on export and international trade and am a contributing author of both "Exporting to Scandinavia" and "Exporting to Ireland", published by Kogan Page in 1998. I also write on the business of sport, principally in Stadia magazine, and on the media. |
