| I am
a freelance journalist - specialising principally on sport - writing for a number of British and American publications, both in print and online. My first book, entitled 'Basketball Legends', is currently on sale (Tick-Tock).
My strength is my versatility and wide-range of contacts, breaking stories and interviewing the people who matter in a variety of different sports, while focusing primarily on basketball, cricket and athletics.
Basketball
is a speciality - I formerly edited and published
Britball.com,
which provided the most comprehensive coverage of the sport in the UK and
Ireland - as well as serving as basketball correspondent for a number of
British newspapers. I write a weekly column for The Guardian, and also blog regularly to NBA.com.
In the summer, I head for the green, leafy but often rain-sodden pastures where I cover cricket
in print and on radio, focusing on Scotland, Ireland and the Associate international game. While all year-round, I contribute to a variety of publications on athletics and triathlon in the UK and overseas, using a variety of social media to drive readers to my copy. Having previously worked within the NFL in a public relations role, I am also a keen observer and commentator on American football - and have reported from both Super Bowls and World Bowls. In the past, I trekked across Europe chronicling the ups and (first) downs of the much-lamented but now defunct Scottish Claymores. Additionally, I frequently cover a range of other sports including ice hockey, football and baseball, making regular Stateside trips to get the inside track on the wild and often weird world of American sports. My Only in America column ran for several years, chronicling the madness behind the games. More generally, I also undertake specific copy-writing commissions on request. These have included travel and entertainment publications, website creation, and analytical consultancy on overseas markets. Outside of sport, I've contributed to publications on export and international trade and am a contributing author of both "Exporting to Scandinavia" and "Exporting to Ireland", published by Kogan Page in 1998. I also write on the business of sport, principally in Stadia magazine, and on the media. |
