Emma Lunn

I’m a freelance journalist specialising in personal finance. I write about mortgages, insurance, banking, savings, debt, money saving, student finance, communications and utilities. I pride myself in explaining complex subjects in a thought-provoking way.

I work regularly for national newspapers, trade and consumer magazines, and websites.

I embarked on a career in journalism in my mid-20s after completing the NCTJ pre-entry certificate in journalism at Lambeth College in 2002/3. My first job in journalism was as a reporter on the Kent & Sussex Courier.

I’ve been writing about personal finance since leaving the Courier in 2004 and my freelance career has since gone from strength to strength.

I now write regularly for a range of publications including The Guardian, The Times, The Daily/Sunday Telegraph, The Independent on Sunday, Scotland on Sunday, Which?, MSNMoney, Moneywise, Thisismoney.co.uk, Orange.co.uk, lovemoney.com, WalletPop.co.uk, and money.co.uk.

I also undertake corporate work including ghost writing opinion pieces, website copy, consumer guides, consultancy and media training. Whatever kind of work I am commissioned, I can guarantee a professional job completed on time.

As well as personal finance I can also cover other subjects such as work, study and travel. I’ve written a number of pieces about work and careers for The Guardian and was “B” magazine’s careers expert for a year.

I’ve also written a guide called “25 ways to boost your income” and a book called “The Little Book of Shocking Money Facts”.

Outside of work I like travelling, tennis, cycling and poker.
