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?

Professional writer. Journalist. PhD.

I have ...a very unusual combination of high level writing skills - both populist and academic. I've been a professional writer, journalist,... agony aunt and broadcaster (television and radio) for 35 years, and an academic more recently, with 15 internationally published books - YA award-winning fiction, narrative non-fiction, academic - and over 4, 000 published feature articles and short stories in women's and general interest national magazines. I have a PhD in Education and psychology, and two First class BA Hons degrees - one in Media, one in English. I'm a skilled researcher, editor and proofreader, able to work to very tight deadlines. I teach MA students in University, and co-authored, with my Professor, a major report for the Irish government two years ago. I have a wicked sense of humour. In a recent worldwide test of 300, 000 writers and academics I came 14th in the world and top woman in the world on verbal intelligence (English). Please check out my CV in my portfolio or look me up on Google or Amazon. I joined PPH in 2010, but have been active in it only since July 2011.

Copywriter/PR Consultant/Journalist/Professional Blog W...

As a former PR specialist in the public sector for eight years, I am skilled in promotions whether writing press releases, media relations, reputation management or producing communications strategies. I've used that knowledge to focus on the private sector for the past year or so and have recently had clients featured in Stuff magazine, Dune blog, Homes & Gardens magazine, Grand Design magazine, the Mail Online, Daily Record, regional newspapers and numerous ...blogs relating to that client's particular sector. Prior to entering the field of public relations I worked as a journalist... for 18 years (10 in national newspapers - the Daily Mail, Sun, Daily Express and The Herald) so I'm well aware of how newsdesks operate (ie if the first two sentences of a press release doesn't grab them then it goes straight in the bin) and how therefore to get a press release before a news editor's nose. My freelance career is a mix of both PR and journalism - I write press releases and articles for the websites of private clients as well as supplying articles to online sites and written publications.
