Space science for everyone!

SpaceStories is an exciting enterprise set up by writer Paul Sutherland to help bring the wonder of astronomy and space to the Earthling in the street.

I have been a journalist for over 25 years on leading Fleet Street titles including the Daily Mirror, Today and The Sun. My main interest outside work was always amateur astronomy, and, in 2005, I decided to combine my journalistic skills and expertise in space science to take my career in a new direction.

My mission statement is simple: To convey the excitement of astronomy and space research to ordinary people accurately but in plain English, avoiding complex jargon. My commissions have included several features for top-selling UK daily newspaper The Sun, but my work has appeared in titles from The Times to the Daily Express.

I have written a full-colour guide to astronomy since the agency was set up and helped produce a second book that was aimed at children. I am now writing a further book on the solar system for a major international publisher. I have also edited or contributed to leading astronomy publications, am a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and belong to the Association of British Science Writers.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if my skills and experience can be of assistance to your publication or organisation.
