I'm a British writer based in Tokyo, from where I write about travel and business in Japan, as well as writing features on a range of other topics; from lifestyle and culture to social issues and finance. My work appears in publications around the globe, in media that includes national and international consumer magazines, newspapers, guidebooks, custom publications, and the Web. Here is a little more about what I do...
Travel Writing
My travel writing appears in publications that include TIME and National Geographic Traveler, as well as the inflight magazines of Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM, Korean Air, Qatar Airways, and others. I've also contributed to guidebooks for Rough Guides, Fodor's and Insight Guides, and am currently writing my first travel book for Tuttle Publishing.
Japan Features
Besides features on travel and lifestyle, I've covered topics ranging from homelessness and racial discrimination to Japan's financial industry and bilingual education. I'm a regular contributor to Eurobiz Japan (the magazine of the European Business Council / Chambers of Commerce in Japan) and iNTOUCH (Tokyo American Club).
Editing
My previous credits here include two years as deputy editor of the bilingual (Japanese-English) magazine the Hiragana Times. I've also edited several non-fiction books on Japan, in addition to updating/editing/rewriting Japan guidebooks.
Reporting & Event Coverage
I'm also available to cover and comment on breaking news across Japan, and have previously done so for Sky TV News, BBC Radio, and several other broadcasters.
