Writing, Broadcasting & Public Relations
I discovered my love of writing in the European Studies Department at UMIST. It was during this time at university that I became a regular contributor to Student Scene on BBC Radio Manchester – and things took off from there.
I went on to work for various programmes on BBC Radio 4 and other networks. After a spell in teaching, I started writing about education and walking for several national newspapers and magazines.
My work includes:
- Booklet about the Danish Free Schools
- Feet First, published in Cycling Today (first few paragraphs)
- In The Heart of the Forest, published in Rambling Today
- Comment, broadcast on Channel 4
- Til Ungdommen – To Youth, an article I wrote for The Friend about the 2011 massacre in Norway and the poet Nordahl Grieg
I am currently working on a book about democratic and humane approaches to education.
