Work Experience

I have written for national as well as regional press, and for web and print based publications targeted at various audiences.

I have been working as a journalist/writer for almost a decade, during which time I have been published top publications including the Daily Mirror, the Sun and Bella, and I have also worked in-house at national women's magazine, Full House.

I have been working as freelance editor, journalist and copywriter for the past five years. My assignments have included long- and short-term jobs including work for a communications agency, providing web-based editorial services for Birmingham City University, writing product descriptions for a retail company and communications for a charity.

Jun 2011 to Aug 2011
Copywriter/journalist at M2 Communications

I produced a number of high-quality articles for M2 Communications. I worked on two projects for the agency: writing encyclopaedia entries for an online library and business focused web articles for U.S. clients. I delivered copy to deadline and according to the specific brief required for each project. The skills involved were writing, editing, research, good communication and flexibility as the scope of the project changed.
