Testimonials

Here’s what some of my happy clients have to say…

Beth is a dream to work with: she is a brilliant writer who delivered a beautifully written and very powerful memoir and she is also a very safe pair of hands to walk talent through the process of sharing their story.

She is kind, sensitive, a brilliant listener who goes above and beyond.

Charlotte Hardman

Ebury Spotlight

Few are able to peel back the layers of a celebrity like Beth. She’s always fair and kind to her subjects but never fails to find something fascinating and unknown about them. She’s been writing cover interviews for over 15 years and the fact that she’s still requested by stars and editors alike tells you all you need to know about what a pro she is.

Her writing is gorgeous. Sharp, witty and full of voice, Beth could make a narrative out of a gas bill.

While Beth is overflowing with journalistic talent, her most remarkable quality is her ability to work with anyone, anytime, anywhere. She’s a fabulous colleague and team player, doing whatever is needed to get the job done.

If you get to work with her, consider yourself very lucky.

Rachel Richardson

Editorial consultant and writer of the Highly Flammable newsletter

Beth has media trained cast members for some of Netflix’s UK reality shows and has been a great partner to work with.

She is thorough in her preparation for the specific characters involved in the show, takes her time to watch episodes in advance and prepare questions that challenge and get the cast thinking.

She’s patient but firm, always open to feedback and her sessions have made such a difference in interview situations and even on social media.

I love working with her. 

Hephzibah Kwakye-Saka

Publicist, Netflix

Good ghostwriters are like gold dust – and Beth is one of the very best out there. She is an incredibly skilled storyteller who perfectly captures an author’s voice on the page.

Beth is also a joy to work with and has really helped the projects I’ve worked with her on run as smoothly as possible.

Fenella Bates

Publisher, Penguin Books

Beth is a brilliant journalist. And that’s not just because she is a superb writer, which of course she is. But she understands how to get the best out of her subjects in an interview situation whilst being sensitive and mindful to their feelings.

She’s wise, kind, emotional, considerate and very observational. She can read people extremely well and even in a short amount of space give her reader a proper flavour of who her subject is.

Journalists come and go but I’ve worked closely with and (most importantly) trusted Beth for a decade now and long may that continue.

Max Dundas

Dundas Communications

Beth is one of the best ghostwriters out there. She is personable, conscientious, dedicated, and a brilliant writer, too. She is a valuable asset on any project and has definitely made my life easier in the past.

She has worked with a broad range of authors, and is therefore very familiar with the publishing process, so I always feel confident in introducing her to my clients – all of whom love her.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Beth.

Oscar Janson-Smith

Literary agent & manager

I have known and worked with Beth for 15 years. Not only is she one of the most talented writers I know, but she is also incredibly hard-working, professional and conscientious.

Beth is always prepared to go above and beyond, and I love working with her.

Sinead McIntyre

Editor-in-Chief, Fabulous

I have known and worked with Beth for many years across her roles at The Mirror, Fabulous and now as a freelancer. She is an honest, knowledgeable, and trusted contact who understands how to balance the needs of good editorial with the desires (and worries!) of a publicist and talent.

Most recently, Beth was my first choice to write production notes with a brand new writing talent covering a sensitive topic. She took her research seriously, handled the interviews sensitively and the end result was both invaluable to the campaign and well received by the show’s creators.

Hannah Smith

Netflix

Beth is fantastic and anyone who has the fortune to work with her is very lucky. We brought her onto a flagship reality show to help support and prepare cast ahead of transmission, preparing them for press and online media attention. She is an expert communicator and spent time watching episodes in advance then preparing cast with possible interview questions and techniques that would challenge and inform them ahead of their programme airing. 

Beth diligently media trained all of our cast members and prepared them mentally and robustly for what to expect whilst carefully managing expectations and getting them to think about possible scenarios or press stories and questions they may be confronted with which was invaluable. 

She is expert at making cast feel comfortable, informed and confident and goes above and beyond when it comes to helping cast navigate the spotlight. Her media training sessions were key to helping cast feel supported and prepared.

Beth is open, kind, patient and a team player who I trusted completely with the cast – she always put their welfare at the top of any conversation, and I can’t recommend her enough.
