Writing & Broadcasting
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.
From those early beginnings I have gone on to write scripts for magazine programmes on national radio, articles for newspapers and magazines, and leaflets and reports for business and the public sector.
My customer list has included: BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio Scotland, Tameside MBC, The Daily Express, The Financial Times, AMMA Report, The Friend, The Independent, The Sign, Cycling Today, Rambling Today and Initiative.
Most of my writing in recent years has been about education, and much of my inspiration comes from Scandinavia. I am currently working on a book about developing education systems fit for a democratic society.
A few years ago I wrote a booklet about the Danish Free School Tradition. You can read more about this on the Danish Free Schools page of this website, or you can buy the booklet from Westwood Books on Amazon.
