I am an experienced freelance writer with a clear writing style, a wide portfolio covering both specialist and general subjects and a track record of delivery and meeting deadlines.
I have always loved working with words, from writing and editing sports club magazines to producing serious professional documents and content. My career background is in business risk and corporate governance which demands reports to satisfy a wide audience (technicians, managers, Board members). Therefore it is crucial to be able to describe detailed or complex subjects in a succinct way. I would summarise my strengths as:
• Clarity and brevity - George Orwell’s ‘6 Rules’ are a key guide
• Client focused - very experienced in meeting briefs and deadlines
• Flexibility - I can turn my hand to a wide variety of subjects
• Getting results - knowing my audience and knowing the message I want to get across
• Excellent spelling, grammar and punctuation requiring minimal editing
• Knowledge of search engine optimization (SEO)
