I have ten years' experience in the marketing sector writing and copy-editing advertorials, web content, direct mail adverts and reports for a large development charity. As a freelance copy writer the bulk of my experience is writing blogs and marketing communications, and I also undertake various VA roles including research, customer communication, events bookings and managements, and other administrative roles to support marketing and events.

    Although adept at all types of writing - factual, informative and creative, much of my experience is writing brochures, marketing material and web content for a range of organisations from travel companies to children's activity organisers to charities.

    I have an eye for detail and am skilled in writing and rewording text to appeal to the required audience.

    In addition to my writing and editing work I also have experience in event management, including financial conferences and more recently, awards ceremonies and assessment centres, as well as training courses for event companies, and gala evenings / fundraising nights for a leading charity.

    I have excellent administrative skills learned over fifteen years' office work and during my role as PA to the Managing Director of a major shipping company. I have a typing speed of 100wps and am familiar with all MS office packages. I work as a freelance transcriber, regularly transcribing for a government backed market research agency, and am adept at delivering high quality transcription and copy typing assignments.

    I will research all the work I take on to ensure I provide a reliable, high quality service, with all work delivered on time.
