Welcome to The Mission Post, the work contact point for Sharmila Meadows. A former senior policy adviser and ministerial private secretary in Westminster, I now work freelance as a writer, journalist and copy editor, with a focus on cricket, faith and politics.
My heart's in journalism, where I harness my two decades in government to survey politics through a Christian lens. I also write extensively about cricket. A member of Surrey CCC, I'll be somewhere at the Kennington Oval from April to September and writing all year about test and county cricket - realising a childhood ambition for sports journalism.
​
My faith portfolio includes my pocket devotional Daily Despatch and The Mission Post Blog, available on this site.

about me
I'm a freelance writer, journalist and copy editor from London, England, where I still live and work.
After graduating in European History and French (Hons) Language, I spent two decades as a (senior) policy adviser to the UK Government in Westminster, working on a range of policies and serving as private secretary to three Government ministers in the House of Lords . I have also lived and worked in France, New Zealand and Australia - and indeed, France and the Commonwealth remain close to my heart.
