I’ve been described as ‘a wordsmith’, ‘creative copywriter’ and ‘prolific blogger’. This simply means having a knack of helping people to communicate. Yes, I have a degree in Journalism, have worked in corporate comms and written books, but how does that help you?
I believe I can assist you to develop and fine-tune your messaging. Whether it be for a full length brochure, short news update or 50 word bio. My experience lies in creating diverse written content and editing it into varying lengths to meet specific requirements.
What I love about copywriting is that I’m constantly learning new technical skills to help clients make the most of their copy both online and offline.
