If you still believe in the old-fashioned written word - meticulously crafted, edited, targeted and focused - as your principal tool of communication, marketing or information, I am your person.
If you are enamoured of Artificial Intelligence or AI as your primary text generator, no problem! Sure, it can increase and speed up your output while reducing costs, but you still need the human touch to edit and check for mistakes; shape language, idioms and grammar to your specific message, cultural environment, audience and needs; humanise the text by conveying the emotions, smells and feel of really good copy and remove the formal stiffness or overly enthusiastic flowery language churned out by non-human technology; fact check the content and check for copyright infringements; and, most importantly, align the text with your organisation's distinctive style, brand or corporate culture, making it a perfect fit. As your human AI text editor, I will take care of all of this for you.
I can work online / remote or on-site and accept one-off or occasional assignments, or will work on retainer or on fixed-term contracts - whatever suits you. My hourly rates are very affordable. I stick to deadlines and am available anytime. And, as they say, no job is too big or too small.
