At a very large light industrial company, New Age International, I drafted, proofread and edited detailed technical brochures on standby generator systems and the electronic control systems.

    I have both commissioned and written numerous case studies for both the research and marketing department at the NGO Investors in People where they were included on the organization website. I have also written academic case studies for the University of Reading where I was a Research Associate. I also worked for the think tank Demos where I wrote literature reviews and website copy.

    I have recently drafted material for the websites of the University of Birmingham and Canterbury Christ Church University. These web pages were based around a large multi-million pound research project funded by the Templeton Foundation. The subsequent report, which I drafted and edited, was the basis of several briefings conducted at the Cabinet Office in 2009 and 2010.

    I run a copywriting business specialising in supporting academic institutions and small businesses. I can work on an hourly rate (£30 per hour), proofing (£20) or quote per job depending on the brief.

    Area Covered: Academic writing, Presentations and Speeches, Newsletters, Reports, Articles (popular), proofreading and editing, fact-checking. Sectors: Education, the Arts, Sport, Commercial, Government.
