press.
Everything a journalist, producer or event organiser needs — bios at four lengths, headshots, the topics I can speak to, and a direct line. No PR agency in the middle; you get me, and you get a same-day answer when you're on deadline.
Four lengths. Lift the one that fits.
Approved copy — use verbatim, no sign-off needed. The copy buttons do what they say.
What I can speak to, and how I do it.
Plain language, specifics over slogans, and no vendor pitch hiding in the quote. If your deadline is today, say so in the subject line — deadline emails get answered first.
"The interesting question isn't whether they're compromised. It's how long they've been compromised and didn't notice. Most boards still measure detection time in weeks, when the only honest unit is days."
— plain-language observation · the thing most people get wrong · the thing that would change the outcome. 30–50 words, attributable, no waffle.
Where you may have seen me.
A short list, kept current — I'd rather give one good talk a quarter than four mediocre ones. Slides are public.
Under attack: cyber resiliency for your business.
Two hours on how attacks on UK SMEs actually happen, with a live walk-through of a real breach and a one-page resiliency framework.
Oversharing with AI?
What people actually paste into chatbots, who they think they're sharing it with, and what could possibly go wrong.
Earlier appearances, podcast episodes and print quotes — links on request. Booking a speaker: the writing at peterbassill.com/writing is an honest preview of what the room gets.
On deadline? Say so.
Email is the channel. Put the outlet and the deadline in the subject line and you go to the front of the queue — same working day for deadline requests, two working days for everything else. Phone interviews, broadcast and panels all considered; remote or UK travel.
