Contact
I receive a large volume of email and my time is very limited. Much as I’d like to read and reply to every message, that isn’t always possible, so please read my FAQs before contacting me. Thanks!
FAQs
Do you accept guest/sponsored posts on this site?
Sorry, no. I will not reply to most emails suggesting paid collaborations. This is a personal website and I'm not interested in directly monetising it.
Will you publish my article in TGO or Sidetracked?
I play no role in commissioning TGO features. If you’d like to discuss a Sidetracked feature, please email submissions@sidetracked.co.uk — but do read the contributor guidelines first. Sidetracked commissioning decisions are made between myself, John Summerton, and Jenny Tough, but if you send a pitch to this email address then I will read it. I ask that you don't approach me about Sidetracked submissions through any other channel.
Will you edit my book?
I am no longer working as a freelance book editor. In early 2022, after eight years working on book manuscripts in the outdoor sector, I decided to focus exclusively on Sidetracked and my own writing.
I’m a magazine publisher. Can you help with copy-editing or proofreading spreads before they go to print?
See above; I am not currently taking on freelance work from new clients.
Will you review my book or other product?
Please read my review policy. Most importantly, please don't send me material without asking me first.
