I'm hoping to write and self-publish a few books. If you'd like to be kept informed of new titles, please sign up to Terry's Books Bulletin by clicking the button below. Thank you.

I've been a Freelance writer and author since 1989. This page lists much of the work I’ve done and periodicals I’ve written for. I could write for your organisation too. If you don’t see anything here that seems like what you’re looking for, enquire anyway.  

On this page

  • Case studies, reports, vision statements, strategy documents and publicity.
  • Manuals, how-to guides and course materials.
  • Published articles.
  • Published books.

  • Blogs.

Case studies, reports, vision statements, strategy documents and publicity

Having worked for and with schools, Local Authorities and Government bodies, I’ve often been called upon to write documents for a number of purposes and for different audiences. such as:

  • Briefings for Headteachers on different aspects of ICT.
  • Case studies.
  • How-to guides (please see below).
  • ICT strategic planning documentation.
  • ICT vision statements.
  • Press releases.
  • Project management reports, both interim and final.
  • Staff handbook for e-learning team.
  • Web copy for parents and the general public.

Something which is not obvious from this list is that on many occasions I have used the same information for different audiences. For example, a project I evaluated led to my creating the following documentation:

  • Full project evaluation report for senior managers and staff.
  • A one page executive summary of the report for interested professional parties.
  • A case study for distributing to parents and publishing on a website.
