Profile
I am a highly experienced, versatile, skilled, and professional freelance copy and content writer, editor, and journalist. I have worked in marketing, advertising, public relations, print & online journalism, academia, and the corporate sector, both in full-time employment and as a freelancer / independent contractor.
My portfolio includes a broad spectrum of written content produced for clients across different sectors and delivered through various platforms, channels, and media. I am professional, meticulous, and creative and innovative. I will create entirely original copy or produce content according to your brief, or rewrite or edit your existing text. All work is meticulously checked and proofread before signing off.
I have worked for major blue-chip companies, small boutique entities, advertising and PR agencies, academia, magazines and newspapers, research organisations, and a variety of other clients.
As a content writer, copywriter, copy-editor and journalist with 30 years-plus experience, I am skilled in all facets of writing and producing content from research, interviewing, writing, editing and proofing to presenting copy/content ready for print or uploading to the web and digital platforms.
