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 sustainability to culture to lifestyle. 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.
Japan Features
Besides features on travel and lifestyle, I've covered topics ranging from homelessness and racial discrimination to Japanese craftsmanship and bilingual education. I'm a regular contributor to Eurobiz Japan (the magazine of the European Business Council / Chambers of Commerce in Japan), Lexus Magazine, TIME, iNTOUCH (Tokyo American Club), and others.
Travel Writing
My travel writing appears in publications such as TIME and National Geographic Traveler, as well as the inflight magazines of Delta, KLM, Korean Air, and others. I've also contributed to guidebooks for Rough Guides, Fodor's and Insight Guides, and am currently writing a Japan guide and Tokyo guide for Tuttle Publishing.
Editing
My previous credits here include two years as deputy editor of the bilingual (Japanese-English) magazine the Hiragana Times. I have also edited non-fiction books on Japan, in addition to updating/editing/rewriting Japan guidebooks.
