“Mark is an exceptional journalist and writer – somebody who makes sense of complex issues or other people’s histories and brings them to life on the page. His style is hard-hitting, enjoyably informative and combines great attention to detail with a fluent, often humorous, and concise writing style. He is intelligent, friendly, professional and a joy to work with. I would recommend him in an instant.”

“I had always considered producing a personal memoir, based on my experiences dealing with the criminal justice system, police and intelligence agencies, and organised crime. In 2018, I commissioned Mark as a ghost-writer – and I could not have been happier with the outcome.
“Drawing on a mixture of my personal writings, his own investigative research, legal documents and detailed interviews, Mark told my complex life story in my words. He brought to life characters from my past, including family members, and uncovered fresh facts and revelations about the people I knew.
“Mark’s great strength is that he maintains regular contact with his clients and allows them to control the book process throughout. He is always on hand to offer expert advice, research, support and creativity. He is full of ideas about how to structure, nurture, write and deliver his clients’ project. I always felt in control of our project, but Mark assumed the heavy workload. I am absolutely delighted with the completed book.”

“Mark is one of the most talented journalists I have worked with. He has a great grasp of the details of politics and public sector policy – and a clear, concise writing style. He is also a pleasure to work with and has a knack for building trust and relationships with key contacts.”

“Mark was a great choice as our ghost-writer. I run a mid-sized organisation covering public policy across Europe. When we approached Mark with an outline for our ‘manifesto’, he grasped the fine details quickly and turned sketchy ideas into a lively and authoritative document. His work is original and informative.”

“Mark is a first-class writer and I have no hesitation in recommending him to any client. In 2022, our Europe-based company wanted to produce several pamphlets in English. But we found that most European ghostwriters were too literal, and their translated copy presented as dry and complex. We approached Mark, who did an excellent job tidying up the whole project – and quickly! He brought to life our research on European public policy, highlighted why the subject is so important and turned dry copy about international security into engaging material relevant to all readers. There is little doubt that Mark helped us to secure new clients.”
