I (and my alter ego, Sarah Marks) write about human resources, business, sustainable development, lifestyle and travel, and can turn my hand to many other topics and styles. In addition to what you can see in my portfolio, I've written for newspapers, scripted radio news bulletins, penned features for several expat lifestyle magazines in Spain, and contributed more serious content for clients including Emirates Group, UN-Habitat and The World Bank.
I also project manage, and was editor of Viva magazine, InMadrid, and English Today - all published in Spain, and I managed content and editing for more guidebooks than I can remember while at Explorer Publishing in Dubai.
In a business writing context, I've produced a series of economic country focus reports featuring interviews with leading politicians and business people, which have featured inside publications such as The Guardian and Bloomberg Businessweek.
In short - if you want something researched and written well, scroll down and contact me.
