Creative copywriter, journalist and editor

Rudyard Kipling said: "Words are the most powerful drug used by mankind". Words have the power to wound, to heal,... to delight, excite, entice, rouse, repulse, evoke, shock, reassure, flatter, enamour, motivate, exhilarate, defenestrate, comfort and convince. They can quicken the pulse, change the mind, chill the bones, warm the heart, raise the stakes and seal the deal. Clear and effective communication is vital in order to be taken seriously, raise your profile, successfully promote your products and services, and get ahead in business. Whatever message you want to convey, you can rely on my wordsmith magic to do it for you in just the right way, on time and within budget. I'm an experienced and accomplished freelance researcher, writer and editor with first-rate communication skills and a meticulous eye for detail and accuracy. I have a unique but eminently versatile style and a proven track record for transforming sloppy copy into persuasive, punchy, pitch-perfect and professional prose. My background is in business administration, media and marketing, and previous assignments have included press releases, SEO web content, branding exercises, company profiles, travel guides and promotional copy.

Journalist and Creative writer

For several years I held the ...post of Director of Public Services with a large Local Authority. On taking early retirement I retrained as a journalist... and developed a writing career. Initial success in a national Writing competition spurred me on to write for various UK and International Magazines. For 4 years I worked as a freelance columnist with a Regional Newspaper writing leisure and travel related articles. More recently I have completed projects for Connexion the English language National Newspaper in France. Projects through this agency have included a number of non fiction researched articles on technology issues and a weekly nostalgic newsletter for residents of a residential home. I have a good command of the English language, educated to degree level and have a good working knowledge of most things to do with the computers and the internet. As I am semi retired I have the capacity to give priority to any work undertaken.

Writer, Journalist, Creative Writer, Copywriter, Proofr...

During my 4-year tenure working in and editing magazines, I have amassed a great deal of copywriting experience in writing... advertorials, press releases and features. Proofing has always been an essential part of my working life; attention to detail, spotting and correcting mistakes, perfecting sentence structures and sub editing are second nature. At all times during my working life I have been responsible for meeting stringent deadlines. I am excellent at priorotising workloads and tasks, ensuring essential items take priority while being watchful that all items are completed in a timely manner and nothing slips through the net. Missing or extending deadlines has never been an option to me, both at university and during my work for magazines, and I am used to organising myself in such a way as to ensure they are consistently and reliably met. I have a wide and thorough understanding of adapting copy to the house style of a publication, and I have edited incoming copy at all publications I have held a staff position in. I am proficient at adapting the tone and voice of a text, translating technical or complex pieces of information into readable copy and shortening lengthy pieces. My skills include a track record of delivering work to a high level of accuracy, as well as a strong news sense, excellent written and verbal skills and a focused but sociable attitude. I work well with responsibility, and am comfortable and experienced working on my initiative.
