Professional journalist/editor/PR consultant
Tyne & Wear, United Kingdom
Hi, I am a fully qualified (NCTJ) journalist with experience in a wide range of markets - newspapers, magazines, B2B, B2C, technical and academic etc. I am an expert in media law - which means you won't need worry about legal problems with your copy :) I have written for many different audiences and can follow preferred or house style. Following more than 10 years in newspapers, I set up my own journalism and PR service which I have run for several years.. As a qualified journalist and experienced PR practitioner, I am able to undertake a wide range of services. I have excellent research skills, good shorthand and I am skilled in both telephone and face-to-face interviewing. Examples of projects to date include: web content - research and writing blog writing website testing and editing magazine articles news releases case studies for goverment initiatives company profiles environmental brochures/case studies editorial for national newspaper supplements Communications audit for government-funded organisation community newsletters Annual reports EHS reports BVPP reports for local authorities (to meet Crystal Mark standard) Consumer magazines for local authorities Editorial content for national magazine for UK subpostmasters Editorial for business technology company magazine Plus a wide range of consumer and business features including health, environment, business finance, ...construction industry, hi tech, chemicals industry, offshore industry, training and recruitment etc. I occasionally work with other journalists, designers,
printers,... photographers etc and can therefore provide a one-stop shop for printed publications where needed. I am known for my professionalism, attention to detail and never missing a deadline. I am able to take ownership of a project from conception to completion subject to a detailed brief. My specialist areas are health, energy and environment, media law and business topics but I am happy to write on fun consumer issues too :) Previous clients say I'm very easy to work with and deliver excellent results - on time. (As a professional writer I am accustomed to meeting deadlines and although some people may provide a very low quote, they may not have the skills or experience needed to give you the end result that you need.) Hope to hear from you !Skills: Copy Writing
