Laura Marcus - Home - freelance journalist, agony aunt and broadcaster specialising in relationships

Thank you for visiting my website. Here’s a bit about me and what I do. If you want samples of my work - or wonder how you too can become a writer - please click on the relevant links.

I’m a writer, broadcaster and social commentator. I also trained as a couples counsellor so, as you probably expect, write a lot about relationships. But this doesn’t just mean intimate relationships.

I’m equally keen writing about work relationships, friendships, families even our relationships with technology, money, health and food.

After serving my apprenticeship on local papers I went freelance and now

contribute to women’s magazines and newspapers across the globe. Some days it’s like climbing a glass mountain - after a heavy rainstorm with the summit never in sight. Only a fool would pretend it’s an easy life. But I love what I do and it shows in my work.

From typing the news to commenting on it.
When I was at college I used to work as a typist in the BBC World Service newsroom during the holidays - and sometimes term time too. The studios always fascinated me but I never dreamed one day I’d be miked up and broadcasting myself. But with my background in relationship commentary and a wealth of journalistic experience, radio producers often call me up at short notice to comment on stories

of the day that have, caught their eye. I’m a regular on BBC Five Live The Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Wales and numerous other local BBC radio stations. I’ve also been on BBC Breakfast, BBC2’s The Daily Politics and written for the BBC website.

Media consulting.
I also work as a media consultant advising clients on the best way to promote and improve their image, online as well as in traditional print and broadcast media. I’m experienced in search engine optimisation and have also blogged on behalf of clients.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to hear from you soon. You can reach me using the Contact link or phone: 07870-367289. Or do friend me on Facebook.
