About Me

​​I began my writing career at Cambridge University for the institution's science and technology magazine, Bluesci. I now have more than 15 years' experience in science and technology writing and am based in Cambridgeshire. 

I have two Masters degrees in Physics, one from York University and the other from Cambridge University.  I have worked as a journalist, software developer, research scientist and marketing executive for a range of innovative software companies, publishing houses and blue chip company Reuters. 

I also appeared on the cult Channel 4 game show 'Countdown' and managed to win one of the show's elusive teapots.

Rarely, does one have the pure pleasure of working with a colleague as intelligent and professional as I have had working with Gemma Church. She has added a full new dimension to our publication, is a team member's team member, and is an indispensable part of our organization. Selfishly, I'd like to keep her to ourselves, but knowing the bandwidth of her interests I just can't do so, and I highly recommend Gemma to any objective that she says she's interesting in taking on... this is one person that you can trust to do more than you will have asked for.

Gemma is an outstanding writer about science and technology. She combines an understanding of the subject-matter due to her own education as a scientist, with the ability to write in clear and understandable terms. More than that, she creates a well-structured narrative that catches and retains the reader's interest. I have worked with her over quite a few years both while she was working at Europa Science and now she is working as a freelance science writer. I can unhesitatingly recommend her.

Gemma is one of those rare talents. An engaging writing style, with an in-depth understanding of science of technology. As a deep-tech company, there is always a struggle to get writers who understand the gist of the tech and explain it in an engaging style. Gemma ticks all the boxes. She has worked with us on writing case-studies and has done a fantastic job. I look forward to continue working with her.

I write extensively on a number of topics, including entrepreneurship, innovation, and FinTech. Very often I use language and concepts that are challenging to consistently present in ways that are engaging, easy to understand, and compelling to read. I have been working with Gemma for a couple of years. What I have found, and truly appreciate, is that she excels at making the complex relatable, tangible, and even fun. Her ability to research, edit, and synthesize elusive and at times esoteric material and drafts that I give her, often with minimum guidance, is second to none. Moreover, the speed with which she grasps new concepts is nothing short of impressive. Most of all, Gemma is very easy to work with, and willing to endure multiple rounds of edits and rewrites to ensure that I am always pleased with my final output. ​
