About Me

I am highly experienced, professional, quick and reliable.
I can write about pretty much anything, edit copy until it gleams and proof read the errors out of a piece all day long.
I have either won awards, or been nominated for them, for writing as diverse as children\'s fiction and sports satire.

Work Experience

More than 20 years in print and online journalism, both as a writer and editor, for national and regional newspapers.
Former copywriter for a major international computer games company.
Freelance website editor with major experience of bespoke content management systems.

Mar 2011 to Oct 2011
Copywriter at Implement Consulting

Implement Consulting's case studies, involving such high-profile clients as Vodafone and the Civil Service, were in drastic need of an overhaul.

Written by the consultants themselves, they were high on jargon but low on structure and accessibility.

Implement commissioned me to re-write dozens of the studies to create compelling, snappy and immediate copy.

The studies are now being used in promotional B2B brochures, marketing literature and on the company's website.

Will Bell
We commissioned David to re-write a raft of our case studies for use as stand-alone promotional B2B brochures and on our website. The case studies, as written by our consultants, were too long and confusing, with too much jargon and detail and not enough clarity and focus. David rewrote them so that they could be understood and appreciated by everyone from the shop floor all the way up to board level. He turned flabby copy into lean, punchy and highly accessible material. He was a pleasure to work with - quick, accurate, on time and exactly to the brief we had set out. I would not hesitate to recommend David to our business partners and look forward to working with him again
