I’m Rachel Lawson and I’ve worked in independent and BBC radio – from Radio 1 to BBC Local Radio for over 20 years. I’ve been a reporter, producer and News Editor so I know first-hand what news stories and guests make the cut. I know exactly how to make a press release or email stand out in a crowded inbox; genuinely I used to get 300 emails a day!
At the start of this year, I decided to set up my own business. I’m still freelancing to keep my hand in but it means I know the big projects the BBC are focusing on, the type of people they are looking for to get on air and for the first time, NOW I CAN TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THEM.
