About me

To Whom it may concern,

I am writing to apply for the freelance copywriter role as seen on Indeed.com.

With experience in editorial, interview and review writing across a variety of media I can produce concise, engaging copy within strict deadlines. In writing for online magazines and my own blog - thoselittlecreatures.wordpress.com - I am able to use content management software effectively and know the importance of understanding the audience I am writing for. My work experience has allowed me to develop excellent interpersonal skills and I enjoy collaborating with all manner of people. On top of this I have learned to write following the house style of each particular establishment Through my experience in advertising sales, I learned how to angle copy in order to achieve the best customer response. As well as this, I managed my own client base, working to extremely tight newspaper deadlines and frequently liaised with the art department to enhance each advert. Working in this fast-paced environment gave me the ability to quickly turn over copy as well as remain calm under pressure.

In my freelance work, I joined up with a photographer to conduct and edit interviews and videos with the cast of Hollyoaks for Agent2 online magazine. In this circumstance I learned the basics on editing and cutting the footage and making decisions on graphics and music. I thoroughly edit any writing I produce, not only does it reflect on me but also the company I am representing and I always put out high quality work.

My approach to any work is always positive and energetic, I endeavour to impress and prove myself as a quality employee and colleague. I will thrive in a fast-paced environment in which I can learn a great deal from and contribute everything I can to. I am a committed writer and willing to go above and beyond what is required.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Elizabeth Horsfall
