Author, award-winning poet, translator, and writing coach, I am a regular at open mics and on local radio, and have performed my poetry at Art in the Park, Leamington Spa and as poet-in-residence at TEDx Leamington Spa. I also write and translate children’s fiction, which has been published traditionally in Spain, and also independently under the pen name David Aston.

I have lived for many years between Britain and Spain and frequently weave the two languages together in my writing, as the cultures are woven through my life.

Collaboration & connection

As joint owner of Tantamount creative agency, I’ve worked with freelance creatives, businesses and educators on many projects that combine the need for publishing, design and technology, and through my From Authority to Authorship programme, I mentor business experts on their journey to publication.

I am a strong advocate of collaboration and have led, and been an active participant in, various writers’ groups in the UK, Spain and online. I’m a member of the Society of Authors and the Poetry Society UK, for whom I host the Global Online Stanza poetry discussion group. I am also Assistant Director of the South Warwickshire Literary Festival.

On the commercial side, I am a skilled copywriter, specialising in the fields of lifestyle, travel and tech. In addition, I offer a range of virtual workshops on poetry and creative writing, and offer author coaching (non-fiction and poetry) from single-session consultancy to longer-term arrangements.

Creative vision

I love the taste of words and am fascinated by the multi-layered aspects of language revealed through translation and poetry. My creative writing explores the blurred borders between writer and narrator, between translation and creation, between memoir and invention, and between poetry and prayer.
