I'm delighted to announce that I've been commissioned by Bradt Guides to write a guidebook to the Turkish Riviera. What an excuse to deep-dive Turkish food and culture! If you know any restaurants, hotels, or attractions from Antalya to Izmir, now's the time to get in touch!
Uta Hagen was a fascinating character with some practical suggestions for enhancing acting. Here's my piece on her method for Mandy.com.

Such a useful guide - not just for travel agents but for anyone who wants to get their understanding of sustainable travel on point. Thanks @Intrepid_Travel intrepidtravel.com/uk/newsro…
Here's another article in my theatre niche. Enjoyed researching this one. Any excuse to read Jez Butterworth or Michael McDonagh's early vitriol!
Thank you again @HollyOMahony and @UKTravelWriter

It's normal to be working class.

Many thanks to @HollyOMahony for her editorial guidance and @UKTravelWriter for the best mentoring in the business.
I've been working on a series of assignments for the theatre/culture side of my niche. Very happy to have a growing collection of articles published via Mandy.Com and StarNow Magazine.

As travel writers, our community is better when we help one another. That might be with contacts or encouragement, but this time Dan needs the cash you can spare. He's got a brain tumour and needs non-NHS treatment to help his recovery. Can you help? gofundme.com/f/dan-fahey

I’m loving being a mentor for the @TTWnewsletter mentoring scheme. Today I’ve successfully introduced my mentee @JDMurphyWriting to @howard_tcg and the @travelcongroup and he will come with me to the Zoom Out this month - careers can really take off with a strong network #travel
Have just submitted my tv pilot County Lines to the excellent Grass Routes opportunity with #MatriarchProductions
Schemes for working class writers help overcome a lack of social capital and family networks to render an equal starting line into an equitable race. One I can win.
