Alison Winter

I am a writer who has created audio drama, short stories, screen and theatre plays, and one or two love letters. I have also worked extensively in content writing for tech, science, and entertainment.

I’ve lived in London, Barcelona, Madrid, Los Angeles, Oban, Edinburgh, and Bristol. I’ve taught English as a Foreign Language to people of many different nationalities and professions, walked El Camino de Santiago in Spain, driven across the USA to witness Obama’s inauguration, and swum with piggies in the Bahamas.

I became a science writer by wonderful accident, after years of consultancy with subject matter experts in universities. I’ve worked with a variety of organisations, including the Royal Astronomical Society, The Alan Turing Institute, and the Smithsonian Channel, plus the NHS, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and GSK ‘Behind The Science’ series.

I continue to write content and simplify complex ideas for adults, children, non-technical senior stakeholders, and vulnerable groups, frequently through a combination of connective storytelling and digital expertise.

Things I love include cosmology, nieces, cheese, ping pong, and trusting something you can’t see. We are all ugly bags of mostly water, and I think that’s beautiful.
