I am a fully qualified (NCTJ) journalist with experience in a wide range of markets - newspapers, magazines, B2B, B2C, technical and academic etc.
I am an expert in media law - which means you won't need worry about legal problems with your copy :)
I have written for many different audiences and can follow preferred or house style.
Following more than 10 years in newspapers, I set up my own journalism and PR service. I worked on a subcontract basis for a number of larger PR agencies, undertaking a variety of projects from news releases and sales brochures to event organisation and product launches. I worked as the North East PR officer for the Countryside Agency for 12 months. For several years, I provided community level PR including a community newsletter and EHS report for a Tier one chemicals company (Dow Chemicals).
As a qualified journalist and experienced PR practitioner, I am able to undertake a wide range of services.
I have excellent research skills, good shorthand and I am skilled in both telephone and face-to-face interviewing.
Examples of projects to date include:
web content - research and writing
blog writing
website testing and editing
magazine articles
news releases
case studies for goverment initiatives
company profiles
environmental brochures/case studies
editorial for national newspaper supplements
Communications audit for government-funded organisation
community newsletters
Annual reports
EHS reports
BVPP reports for local authorities (to meet Crystal Mark standard)
Consumer magazines for local authorities
Editorial content for national magazine for UK subpostmasters
Editorial for business technology company magazine
Plus a wide range of consumer and business features including health, environment, business finance, construction industry, hi tech, chemicals industry, offshore industry, training and recruitment etc.

I occasionally work with other journalists, designers, printers, photographers etc and can therefore provide a one-stop shop for printed publications where needed.
I am known for my professionalism, attention to detail and never missing a deadline.
I am able to take ownership of a project from conception to completion subject to a detailed brief.
My specialist areas are health, energy and environment, media law and business topics but I am happy to write on fun consumer issues too :)
Previous clients say I'm very easy to work with and deliver excellent results - on time. (As a professional writer I am accustomed to meeting deadlines and although some people may provide a very low quote, they may not have the skills or experience needed to give you the end result that you need.)
Hope to hear from you soon!

Area Covered: All areas of UK , Europe and USA - remote working
