The written word was among my earliest passions and over the past decade I have had hundreds of pieces published in a variety of online and print publications, particularly music reviews, interviews and features. In recent years that writing has also extended into reports and analyses on processes within higher education institutions, strategic plans for medium sized organisations and a variety of other materials.

What follows are links to to a small selection of writing samples. I am in the process of pulling together a larger selection. If you would like to see samples before they appear on this site, please email me.

• Phantom Tollbooth: Wovenhand review
  a review of the 2004 Wovenhand album for this online magazine.
• Greenbelt Festival: Website Daily Updates
  a selection of brief stories on some of the festival's attractions.
• Rosie Thomas

• RUSU Response to Hall Fees Proposals
  In Spring 2004, the University of Reading proposed to increase students' residence hall rents by 9.6%. I wrote this response in my role as Vice President of the Students' Union. The increase was subsequently reduced to 5.7%. The document is available in PDF format.
