Oh, hello! I'm busy writing fiction, producing podcasts and sharing bookmarks. By day, I'm an experienced freelance content designer.
I send two newsletters to around 1500 readers:
- Draft Mode – writing, life, books, blather (Monthly)
- Beating – a public writing diary (Weekly)
Presented in uncomplicated, unembellished prose, A is for Angelica is a brilliant and adeptly written debut novel, loaded with poignancy and feeling.
Just read my first newsletter from Iain Broome - hilarious. And useful and thoughtful and all those good things that make for great newsletters.
Been an absolute pleasure working with Iain for the last year. Snap him up for all your content strategy and content design needs. Amazing addition to any team.
