Copywriter, Writer, Journalist, Feature Writer, Author, ...

***STOP PRESS - AWARDED A PPH 'FREELANCER OF THE MONTH' AWARD FOR FEB 2012*** I'm Matt Dunn, a professional writer,... and by 'professional', I mean it's my full-time job. I'm older than I look, which means I've actually got a lot more experience than you might think; over the years, I've written copy for clients including leisure centres, management consultancies, security companies, travel agencies, property companies, software corporations, fitness equipment retailers, business information companies, accountancy firms and recruitment consultancies. Every now and again, you'll see features I've written in publications like The Times, Telegraph, Daily Express, Sun, Guardian, Cosmopolitan, Elle, and Glamour. I also spent two years as a columnist for Spain's largest English language newspaper, writing features on travel, tourism and culture. What that means for you is that I have a proven track record in writing high-profile copy for a variety of audiences, both in the UK and internationally. In my spare time I've written six novels, published by Simon & Schuster in the UK, and as far afield as Serbia, Indonesia, Turkey, Brazil, Germany, Croatia, and the U.S. One of them was even shortlisted for a couple of awards, so if you want an idea of how wide my range is – or just need something to read on holiday – Googling my name will take you to my website. They're romantic comedies (described as 'hilarious' and 'very, very funny' by the likes of the Daily Mirror and Heat magazine) so if you want me to apply that to your copy - the 'comedy' bit, not the romance - I'll do it at no extra charge. And how many other copywriters can say that?
