Book creation
If you work for a company, individual or project and think you might need a physical book, get in touch. I cover all aspects of publishing, from ideas and writing the contents to commissioning designers, printing and distribution.
*Challenge Anneka Marketing Rescue
You know when you suddenly realise that you’ve got two weeks before a key event, exhibition or happening, and you need to overhaul your web copy/ get banners/ print posters/ design hand-outs/ order merchandise and pull-ups/ write a press release/ get some fresh blogs up etc, and you don’t have any time and want to jump out of a window…and then your assistant goes on holiday for a fortnight (having deleted DropBox by mistake)? I can step in to get those things done for you. Like Challenge Anneka only for your marketing bottlenecks. Link provided there, to save Millennials googling. I won’t necessarily be wearing a jumpsuit – though it has been known – but it’ll get you out of a hole.

In-house roles
Find more on LinkedIn but previous employers include Secret Compass adventure travel company, Sawday’s, the Everest in the Alps fundraising challenge, Yachting Pages publishing, Averys wine merchants, EDM publishing, Sustrans charity, JISC and The Stable Coworking Hub.
Published creative writing
I’ve had adventure features and blogs (cycling, trekking, on the road) published with Sawday’s, Ride Journal, Wanderlust, Boneshaker, and Trek and Mountain Magazine. I’ve ghosted features for Sidetracked and have co-written multiple travel books for EDM Publishing’s ‘Chic’ and ‘World’s Best Hotels’ series.
Rates and swaps
Daily or weekly rates can be discussed, or work can be costed on a project basis. I work quickly and accurately to provide excellent value for money. Swaps also considered such as a holiday, voucher, service or product of yours for work of mine, if mutually acceptable (and legal). A flight to Oz in exchange for a blog post would be awesome but rather unfairly weighted, I get that! Sensible suggestions welcomed; I can always say no and quote you a price.
Contact
Please email me in the first instance and I’ll get back to you in the manner you request. For websites, see Website O’Clock Web Design. Thanks for reading thus far, the fact you’re here suggests we might get on.
