Embedded Files
I am a writer, editor and journalist. I have written for most of the Fleet Street national papers, including the Times, Guardian, and Independent. I have been features Editor of Saga magazine, the largest-circulation (600,000) subscription magazine in the UK, and for ten years was a senior staff feature writer on the Daily Mail.
Freelance work has specialised in science, the environment, travel and adventure (I reported three times from Mount Everest for the Daily Mail.) Some of my work appears below - click the links to show them. At the top are articles and interviews from The Guardian and Saga, then covers and interviews from Significance magazine and Ceramic Review, magazines which I have edited during my career.
Rolling in the Isles - The Guardian
The Reluctant Saviour- Saga magazine
From 2016-2017 I was Editor of Ceramic Review, a magazine for potters and craftsmen in clay. I was brought in to revitialise this bi-monthly magazine, which is prestigious, the world leader in its field, and has astonishing visual quality – it goes to major museums and collectors worldwide, as well as to working studio potters - but under guest editors had been drifting. I brought in a columnist, made the language more readable, and introduced other changes while maintaining its core values and appeal.

From 2006 to 2014 I was Editor of Significance magazine, which could be thought of as a statistically-oriented New Scientist; its aim is to make statistics interesting even to non-statisticians. It gives the statistical background to topical events and covers the important, the unexpected, and the bizarre. Intended for statisticians and non-statisticians alike, it is published jointly by the Royal Statistical Society and the American Statistical Association and under my editorship it increased its circulation four-fold to 35,000.
