Giles Turnbull

Hello. My name's Giles and I'm a freelance writer. For a quick fix of stuff by me, look at the weblog. Old content can be found via the archive, or you could try a search and my RSS feed.

I've been a professional journalist since 1993. I became a technology specialist in 1997, and went freelance in 2001. Since then my focus has been on the internet and Apple Mac hardware and software, but I also enjoy writing about science, the environment, parenting and lots of other topics.

I write a weekly internet column for the Press Association. I contribute regularly to the Cult of Mac and Inside iPhone blogs. I write fairly frequently for MacUser magazine, and less frequently for The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, BBC Online, and The Morning News. There's a full list on the work page.

Sometimes I like to turn my hand to creative writing; sometimes I do a spot of commercial copywriting, most recently for web sites like youcando.org.uk, Expectnation and Dopplr. I've contributed to a handful of books.

I live in Wiltshire, near Bath, with my wife and son. In my spare time I enjoy singing and photography. I'm easy to find online; I tend to be “gilest” on various web services and community sites. You can find me on Twitter, Flickr, del.icio.us, LinkedIn, Dopplr, and The Daily Chump. I’ve got an obligatory Amazon wishlist, and can be found lurking or posting on some mailing lists: Wrong People, (void), and Underscore.

You can contact me by emailing giles at gilest dot org, or calling me on 07939 127917.
