Driven by Discovery

Where science meets storytelling: Consulting for media, publishing and outreach.

My mission? To spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and make palaeontology an unforgettable experience. 

Want to engage audiences better with science and natural history? Palaeontology reveals Earth’s changing history, helping us understand our world today. Effectively distilling this for audiences requires careful balance and engaging storytelling.

As an experienced palaeontologist with an MSc in Palaeobiology, passionate about science communication, it has been a pleasure to help shape engaging science content that transforms fossil facts into vivid storytelling and broadens public participation.

Palaeontology is a captivating field, and my aim is to ensure that its intrigue is conveyed with clarity and professionalism, whether through written content or digital media. Inspiring imagination, sparking discussion, and encouraging deeper thinking about palaeontology and biodiversity.

Trusted by Leading Media & Science Organizations

“It was really great for our organisation to have James. James was always willing and extremely capable of writing clear, insightful pieces for us, for our blog and magazine.”

Lauren Sewell, Jurassic Coast Trust

Over the years, I have teamed up with talented researchers, content creators, educators, and production teams across leading science organisations and media platforms. Every project is a team effort, and I bring a passion for writing, research fact-checking and scientific rigour to the table. These partnerships ensure palaeontology remains accurate, accessible, and engaging, from field discoveries to finished stories.

From prehistoric landscapes ruled by dinosaurs to the ecosystems of marine reptiles and pterosaurs, I help readers and viewers journey into a world long lost to time. Consulting on science productions that inspire curiosity has been a true highlight of my career.

Collaboration lies at the heart of every successful project. Whether shaping outreach with the Jurassic Coast Trust, co-producing YouTube content, or refining magazine features, I have contributed as a trusted member of creative and scientific teams to share natural history with the world.
