About

I’m Dan, a journalist, content writer and editor. My 10-year experience spans roles as a senior journalist (Sheffield Star, Derbyshire Times), national news agency reporter (SWNS), and magazine editor (Acoustic). 

 

Since becoming a freelance writer in 2018, I’ve helped thousands of people to explore the great outdoors. I work with Komoot, the largest and fastest-growing digital platform for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. In this role, I create inspiring route collections for hikers, trail runners, mountain bikers, gravel riders and bikepackers. Other outdoors publications I’ve worked with include TGO Magazine and Advnture.com

 

Motivated by helping small businesses and startups to succeed, I work with clients such as UK Business Forums, Enterprise Nation, Be the Business, and The Pitch. In this capacity, I write advice-led articles, guides and ebooks based on interviews with subject matter experts, trusted third-party sources and user-generated content. 

 

I am trained in photography and all aspects of digital journalism and can provide my own high-quality images, video and audio. I also have experience in copywriting, public relations and ghostwriting. Other clients I have worked with include The Daily Mash, The Bristol Cable, MusicRadar and Songlines magazine.  

 

My previous roles include: senior journalist (Derbyshire Times, Sheffield Star), national news agency reporter (SWNS), and magazine editor (Acoustic).
