Welcome

"I try to leave out the parts that people skip." Elmore Leonard

I am a freelance journalist and editor based in the UK. I have more than 15 years of experience editing consumer, B2B and corporate titles. As a freelance writer, I have covered food & drink, film, literature, travel, alternative health, culture, business, psychology, and Mind, Body, Spirit subjects for national newspapers and specialist magazines. I also run media training workshops for PR agencies. Check out the work section below for links to a few of my articles, a downloadable CV, client list and testimonials.

I am the author of The Brilliant Book of Calm (Infinite Ideas, 2008) and am currently working on a non-fiction book about vintage fashion and retro living. I am available for TV and radio appearances on a wide variety of subjects including Mind, Body, Spirit, vintage living, and the media.

Testimonials

As a proven/experienced journalist, Tania is a very knowledgeable and captivating speaker. The session was very useful to the team who gained further understanding of general PR, press deadlines, handling press events and SHE IS ADORABLE!

Clemence de Crecy, Managing Director, Clementine Communications

I gave Tania what I thought was an impossible task but she responded in an even more impossible timeframe. She was both on brief, tonally and for content. What a pleasure to work with someone who's so professional. Thanks Tania.

Sharyn Wortman, Today was fun

I have commissioned Tania for full features, travel features, spa and treatment reviews as I know that she delivers excellent copy, to brief, and on time. One of her best qualities is her ability to inject humour and wit into her work without diminishing the importance of the subject matter. She knows the mind, body, spirit market inside-and-out and I would recommend her highly.

Emma Van Hinsbergh, Editor, Natural Health

Tania is great at sourcing quirky and unusual interviewees. She's livened up my pages with plenty of real life stories which no one else has found.
