I have provided copy writing, proof reading, voice over and editing services to an advertisement agency in the past. Also have created slogans for various products and carried out promotional activities for them. I believe in writing simply and clearly so that the reader can grasp information instantly. Verbose and complex words I feel usually turn the reader off.
I have done my Bachelors in Commerce even though my field is Liberal Arts.
I like to read poetry and books on history. I feel that history and poetry are a great source of inspiration in various aspects of our lives. It can be incorporated very well into writing, advertisements, tag lines, books and articles.
Story telling, is something I find interesting. I started inventing them for my children when they got bored of the usual fairytales. As they entered their teens I started creating stories to suit their age group which they found quite interesting and fun. They have become my sounding boards.
Proof reading and editing is also one of my skills. Being articulate and accurate is my forte.
Now that my children are grown up and are more independent I have time on my hands to pursue a career which I had put on hold for some time. I am very excited about entering this field again as I feel I can bring a fresh perspective to it by thinking out of the box and make words quite interesting.
I am certain that my knowledge and understanding can help meet your goals.
I would be happy to provide any information you require of me.
Sincerely,
Irum Akhtar
