I have great writing skills along with proven success in managing media relations and providing engaging web content.

    Over the ten years I have worked in public relations I have dealt with a large variety of media issues, ranging from launches of low carbon products to promoting new encouraging the public to eat their 5-a-day.

    My writing skills are first-rate and I can provide succinct, easy to read copy for a wide variety of media. I have a great deal of experience writing, including magazine articles, web content, newsletters, press releases and statements.

    The information I am tasked with communicating is from a diverse range of complex source material, often vague and written in confusing, technical language, which the general public and journalists tend not to fully understand. I put this information into plain English, getting the key messages across in easy to read, lively copy.

    I have used my news sense to create interesting and fresh angles for feature articles to promote policies or products. I have sold-in and written feature articles to trade publications, specialist press and newspapers. These articles have been attributed to government ministers, company CEOs and other senior staff.

    I have successfully worked with local, national and international journalists at all levels. I have worked closely with trade editors and journalists, building up a vital contacts list. Key to my successes has been the ability to present a story in a way that appeals to journalists, and provide them with a full story package so they can create a great article.

    My skills are versatile and I can guarantee great results if I am chosen for a job.

    Thank you for your consideration.
