Behind The Bookmaker's Window

As a child, I was fascinated by the bookmakers at the end of our road.
I daydreamed about the magical work going on behind those darkened windows to bring great story books to us kids…
My eventual enlightenment over what really went on behind the bookmaker’s window did little to dampen my fascination with the power of words. I studied Communications, at Goldsmiths, majored in journalism, landed a job as a current affairs reporter, and then decided that crime reporting wasn’t for me.
I was more at home with inspirational stories about people who did positive things and with creating PR opportunities by finding the story behind the story.
Since then I’ve moved between various journalism, editor and PR roles and taught journalism to undergraduates
