I am a seasoned writer with a passion for property. I have ten years’ experience of the country house market in the UK and the second home sector abroad. My areas of specialism are British equestrian property and the Italian residential industry–particularly market trends and reports, such as this one, and destination guides, such as this one on Molise.
I also write about travel, food, wine, tea and coffee, with a particular focus on Italy.
My property pieces have appeared on some of Britain’s most established magazines and websites, such as Country Life, Countrylife.co.uk, Country Life International, Italy magazine, Homes Overseas, Horse & Hound and HORSE. I write daily property and travel stories for Italymag.co.uk, the online arm of Italy magazine, and a fortnightly property page on Horse&Hound.
Lifestyle credits include Country Life, Decanter, Woman’s Weekly, Ideal Home and The Field.
My work has also appeared internationally in publications such as the Washington Post, House Hunters in the Sun, Wildlife Conservation and Fresh Cup.
In the past, I have been editor of Country Life International, a thrice-a-year international property and travel magazine sold as a supplement to Country Life; content director for Countrylife.co.uk and Horseandhound.co.uk; editor of the now-defunct Hotelworld.com, a travel website by Associated Newspapers; and associate editor and writer for the Conde Nast Traveller online and Vogue online.
Tapping on twelve years’ experience of print and online writing, I also provide editorial consultancy services. Find out more about how I can help your business achieve an effective online presence and communication strategy.
