Content that cuts through the noise
Science and innovation are essential
to tackling the world's biggest challenges.
But in the crowded online space,
organisations doing vital work often struggle to achieve the impact they deserve.
You’ll find plenty of comms agencies and content creators. But those of us who deeply understand communications and the scientific content are harder to find.
I trained in natural sciences, then gained a Master's in Science Communication. Throughout my career, I have been drawn to the intersections of science, culture and society.
Since 2009 I have worked in science journalism, writing for leading publications about science, environment, and sustainability. Today, I also apply that experience to content and communications work with leading international organisations.
I can help you to:
contextualise science and technology
create high-quality, targeted content
amplify your work to drive change

Content creation: writing, video, podcast production
Copywriting and editing: technical reports, repurposing for diverse audiences, humanising AI-generated content
Editorial process management: commissioning, workflows, editorial best practice, ethical use of AI

Testimonials
“James has worked with us on various projects with high-profile international organisations for several years now, and as well as being an excellent science writer and editor, he’s truly a pleasure to work with – responsive, friendly and always keen to ensure he does a great job by communicating clearly if he needs clarification or ensuring that schedules are planned effectively. He writes beautifully and very clearly, transforming complex scientific information into plain English that is interesting to the reader. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”
“James is one of the few truly exceptional professionals I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with. He consistently managed multiple tasks, often under tight deadlines, while liaising with key stakeholders both internally and externally with a high level of professionalism.
He helped create some of our most engaging blog articles, with a strong grasp of the latest trends and SEO best practices.”
“James has produced several high quality and effective videos for global marketing campaigns. I’m always impressed with how James dedicates time and energy to fully understand a brief, apply his journalistic background to develop the message within the video content, and use his multimedia skills to create striking and attractive videos that are tailored to the audience and support the campaign goals.
On top of this, James is a pleasure to work with and brings a positive energy and commitment to his work.”
“James is an excellent writer who knows how to take complex topics and turn them into articles that are accessible and engaging for a broad audience. He has a real talent for explaining difficult concepts in a way that makes readers feel confident and informed, even without any prior background knowledge.
He’s punctual, reliable, and a genuinely skilled writer with a deep understanding of the food system. James would be a fantastic addition to any team.”
“James is a talented writer and journalist who in his time at IOP Publishing also developed a real expertise for producing engaging videos and podcasts. He is a great person to work with, always looking for new ways to present complex information but also open to ideas and suggestions from other people.”
