Caroline Deacon
Journalist and author based in Scotland, UK

A freelance journalist and author for over fifteen years, I write for a variety of magazines and websites and have written, edited and contributed to several books.

My particular areas of expertise are parenting, health, education and development, as well as leisure and travel. I have built a reputation as an interesting and entertaining writer with a very accessible style.

You will find me reliable, thorough and accurate, with my writing being research based where possible. I have experience working with and for PR companies, and I guarantee to deliver professional copy to meet your deadline.

I have been teaching adults for over twenty-five years and currently work as a creative writing tutor for the Workers Education Association. I also teach for the National Childbirth Trust running training days for health professionals, volunteers, parents and delivering the NCT diploma in breastfeeding counselling for the University of Bedfordshire. I am also available for one to one tuition.

BACKGROUND
I grew up in the Highlands of Scotland, studied psychology at the University of Edinburgh, and then lived in London and SE England for 20 years, working as a journalist, adult education teacher and also working in publishing and in the voluntary sector.

I also worked for some time in marketing and sales in the financial sector. I now live in Inverness with my husband and three children. I have also lived and worked in France as a ski guide and ski instructor, and have a love of the outdoors.
