01 / Writing

Thoughts & analysis

Features, commentary and statistical deep-dives on the sport, its history and the numbers that make it interesting.

02 / About

A career spent making athletics make sense.

20+ years working across athletics media and editorial content

I’m Jon, a UK-based editor, writer and editorial consultant. I’ve worked with World Athletics since 2006, during which time I have covered more than 40 global championships, helping shape how the sport's stories are told online.

My work spans reporting, editing, content planning and developing other writers. I care about accuracy, clarity and giving readers a reason to care, whether they know every split time or are watching their first race.

Alongside client work, I’m developing books and creative projects that help more people enjoy the sport.

03 / What I do

Editorial expertise, without the jargon.

From a single stubborn piece of copy to a bigger content challenge, I bring specialist knowledge of athletics and the people who follow it.

04 / Contact

Have something in mind?

Tell me what you’re working on and where you could use an editorial hand. I’m happy to talk through a project, a workshop or an ongoing arrangement.
