  Content creation for the Slumber app and Get Sleepy podcast. I write, edit and proofread audio-friendly sleep stories for adults and children. These texts are essentially scripts to be read aloud by narrators, which are then uploaded on the app and podcast as bed-time stories. Typical genres include relaxing descriptions, meditations, travelogues, and adaptations of myths, legends, folktales and fairytales.The Slumber/Get Sleepy stories I've written include: From the Sea to the Stars, Twelve Sleeping Princesses, Autumn in London, The Mythology of the Moon, The Blue Hour in Rome, Bonfire Night, Flight of the Crow, The Peacock House, The Zen Garden, Night at the Aquarium, The Room of Rare Books.

  I read non-fiction books and write audio-friendly summaries (Blinks) for the app. The text then becomes a script for the narrator. Both the written text and audio recording are available for Blinkist subscribers (more than 20 million users). Blinks are designed to convey the key messages and ideas from books in a clear, concise and engaging way. Busy people who might not necessarily sit down and read a 350 page non-fiction book can listen to a 15 minute audiobook instead, and understand the most important parts of the author's argument. Writing Blinks requires the ability to rapidly comprehend and organise huge amounts of material, and then present it in a way that is clear, accurate and enjoyable to read (or listen to). Blinkist writers work to tight deadlines. I've written Blinks for books in a variety of genres, including interdisciplinary analysis ("Grand Transitions" by Vaclav Smil), social psychology ("The Quick Fix" by Jesse Singal), self-help ("Fear Less" by Pippa Grange), health and fitness ("The Comfort Crisis" by Michael Easter), Christianity ("Lead Like it Matters to God" by Richard Stearns), and investing ("Better Than Alpha" by Christopher Schelling) Show less
