Things I've Written
Like most young journalists, I've been writing for whoever will have me pretty much ever since I realised I could do it. I was a regular face at editorial meetings for the in-joke laden high school magazine, but it was the Glasgow University Guardian which gave me my first taste of the newsroom. I was News Editor during academic session 2002/03. I have also served my time on various unpaid work placements in the local press.
I have an LLB (Hons) from the University of Glasgow, and an MSc in Journalism from Napier University.
Specialist subjects? Media law and bands who sound a little bit like they might have been influenced by the work of Bruce Springsteen. If you reckon we should work togther, please get in touch to discuss.
Legal/Paralegal - General
I have been editor of a UK-wide paralegal magazine on behalf of a legal training company since June 2005, and have now single-handedly produced eight quarterly editions. Here is an interview I gave to Young Scot in 2006.
