For hire, by the day or by the project, supplying “all kinds of words for all kinds of purposes”… reliable, qualified freelance all-round journalist and copywriter with experience in local and national newspapers, magazines, PR and corporate communications.

Are you a newspaper or magazine publisher?

I can offer you great features on any topic – well-researched, beautifully written – on a per-1000-word basis, to your brief.

Or… I can join your team on a by-the-day basis to write general or business news.

Or… you can bring me in to join your in-house subbing team, where I will meticulously and methodically check and rewrite the copy produced by your reporters or contributors, write relevant captions and headlines that fit, and proof-read pages.

Are you a business that needs a little help with its internal or external communications?

I can research and write news, interviews and features for your customer newsletters and brochures, websites, blogs and staff magazines. I can sub-edit other writers’ copy, source and brief photographers and liaise with your graphic designers to produce finished pages.

Or… I can write press releases about your company’s news, to help gain publicity for your activities and products; and advise on how you might best maximise the potential of traditional and new media in getting your business’s messages across.

Are you a creative agency that needs holiday or maternity cover?

I am an ideasy person who can adapt her writing style to suit the tone of any project – the more creative the better. Check out my blog posts to see how I write when given free rein.

When writing, I adapt my style to suit the tone of a particular project – whether it’s a factual business report, a concise news story, an indepth human interest feature, a to-the-point press release or creative sales literature and marketing communications. Projects that involve a more humorous style are particularly welcome.

When sub-editing, I enjoy the craft of meticulously turning turgid prose into informative, readable copy to fit the required length and style – with suitable headlines and captions.
