Freelance writer and editor
Manchester, United Kingdom
Since completing an NCTJ in print journalism I have worked as the deputy editor of YQ Northwest, a lifestyle magazine based in Manchester, as well as a marketing officer at 10 ...Network, responsible for its high-end
website and brochures, and later in an online capacity as the editor of travel
website,... Simonseeks. Through these roles I gained an insight into the stressful nature of working in a busy editorial department and built up an extensive portfolio of work, including coordinating a roof-top fashion shoot and writing regular features and interviews. I have also represented the various publishing companies at key events and on a number of international press trips, particularly enjoying a rather indulgent experience at Abu Dhabi's Emirates Palace and The Dorchester’s refurbished spa. After joining fashion retailer ASOS as a copy writer, I have further developed my knowledge of content management systems and writing for the web as well as gaining valuable experience of fashion trends and seo. Although this role has enhanced my online and sub-editing experience, I have continued to freelance for a number of other publications, most notably Waterfront Magazine, Metro, Event Magazine and Daily Express. In addition to contributing features on fashion, business, sport, the arts and beauty, I have also interviewed a number of high profile celebrities and experts, including Marco Pierre White, Nicholas Kirkwood and Lara Bohinc.Skills: Copy Writing
