MENTORING: NEED A HELPING HAND?

Do you fancy the idea of being a freelance journalist, but feel unsure where to start?

Are you a staff journalist or PR professional, looking for a change of direction?

Have you written for trade or specialist publications, but would like to break into a new market, such as national newspapers or magazines?

Are you already a freelance journalist, but would like to boost your income?


If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you could benefit from my journalism mentoring programme.

This unique approach combines face to face, email and telephone mentoring to help you identify your professional goals and achieve them.
