I have always prided myself on creating great copy within tight deadlines - but still at a really high standard. I am also now a successful Trust Fundraiser, working within the third sector to write bespoke applications to major UK grantmaking Trusts and Foundations.
    I am a trained researcher and also am a capable social scientist - if you need help gaining evidence for policy development, get in touch! I have worked for public, private and third sector clients and am known for my friendly approach to business, as well as my high standards. I work remotely which means that not only can I work across the UK and English speaking world, it means you can get London standards of service without the London price tag - my overheads in the North are a lot lower than 'down South'....
    I have specialist skills in creating copy for web pages, which need to capture attention whichever page a person lands on - you may only get one chance to catch their interest after all. I also have written several successful grant applications on behalf of clients, as well as brochures, covering letters and a myriad of other briefs. I have most recently been writing academic papers for a company in Newcastle, and have had all of my submitted work accepted and approved.
    I also have a team of writers I can call upon if a large job is allotted to me. I hope you feel we could work together to our mutual satisfaction.

    Area Covered: UK/English UK speaking briefs worldwide (for online work), North East region for 'in person' assignments - other areas by arrangement for short term contracts. Initial meeting (if required) mileage and accommodation costs must be met by client, unless otherwise agreed - sorry to be formal, but hotels cost a lot and I have been let down one too many times. I pay for my own food and refreshments.


    Work Experience
    -----------------

    Summary: I have over two year's of Trust fundraising experience, as well as writing bespoke emails and appeal letters for a large local charity, with a £5 million turnover. My annual fundraising target is £140,000, which I achieve in 15 hours per week, with no administration support or line-management. I am entirely responsible for project outlines, costing, planning application schedules and maintaining relationships with grant making Trusts, whilst approaching newer Trusts to establish a working relationship. I have successfully secured funding from a number of major organisations, including Garfield Weston, Henry Smith and BBC Children In Need (Major Grant). I can also write compelling campaign literature and also donor packs, including Regular Giving calls to action and educational packs for schools.
    Job Title: Trust Fundraiser
    Company: Please ask privately.

    Summary: I have written a large number of academic briefs for an agency, I am educated to degree level across the full spread of the social sciences and also comparative religion. I am a trained researcher and am happy to produce reports for clients (see my portfolio item about graduate employability).
    I have ghost written several articles which appear on websites, though I can't say which they are - the joys of ghosting!
    I have experience in creating promotional copy, producing leaflets, brochures, product descriptions - for printed and digital media. I have successfully submitted grant applications for a number of clients too.
    I offer an all round wordsmithing service, anything to do with words is my business. I can edit and proof text, and also am exceptionally good at crafting well weighted web pages.

    Company: Orange Rabbit

    Job Title: Client Support Manager
    Company: Regional Webs Limited
    Description: Client Support Manager/Freelance Copy Writer. Solid on the job training working within a multimedia company. Apart from writing press releases, brochures, pamphlets, SEO copy, web pages, grant applications etc, I also was trained to optimise images for the web. I built several websites using php and a bespoke database driven site builder, unique to the company. I represented the company at BNI, Business Link functions and other public facing arenas. I delivered training to end users, and was seen as the interface between the technical side of the company and the more 'human friendly' experience that end users required.
    I have also ghost written press articles for a well known public figure, and also worked alongside a PR agency to improve their client's literature and online persona.
