Why work with me?
I’m a trained journalist, so I understand how newspapers and magazines work…
After gaining my NCTJ Diploma in Newspaper Journalism at Cardiff University, I cut my teeth as a reporter at The Argus, a busy daily newspaper in Brighton. This gave me valuable experience of writing news stories to tight deadlines.
I also worked as a reporter and feature writer in national newsrooms in London for many years, including The Daily Express, Sunday Express and Daily Star.
I then went freelance, writing articles for newspapers and magazines like The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, MailOnline and Woman magazine, among many others.
This means I’ve reported on everything from people getting mugged by seagulls for their tuna sandwiches and celebrity interviews to crown court trials and breaking international news stories.
“Linda oozes positive energy in her work, creates such excitement in you and your story, and goes all out to get you visible.
“Linda grabbed my family adventure book, Word Hunt Adventures, with enthusiasm and gusto. She waved it in the air, jumped up and down and sang its praises to all the media channels we could think of. And it worked!
”We got into some great North East publications, including The Yorkshire Post and Northern Echo, and I got a slot on BBC Radio York. I can’t wait to work with Linda again on future projects. Don’t delay. If you’ve got a story, Linda is your path to visibility!”
