I am currently on a writing sabbatical. With a passion for helping non-native speakers of English grasp and enjoy all the language has to offer, in the spring of 2011, I began a mammoth investigation into slang and unconventional language unique to Britain and the British Commonwealth.

My book aims to fill the gap left by conventional English teaching. It will contain an easy-to-read introduction, guide to pronunciation, some 10,000 slang definitions with contextual insight, along with a glossary of linguistic terms.

BLIMEY, BONKERS, BRILL! will be published in 2012 and is designed to be read and enjoyed by non-native speakers across the world.

I am now accepting editing and writing commissions, particularly from university and ESL students. The types of projects I can help you with include:

Essays
Dissertations
Research proposals
Presentations
CVs & covering letters
