About me

As a writer - I have written for a number of publications on an in-house and freelance basis - and a sub editor, I understand the importance of weighting content to fit the style of the feature/news story/nib. Having worked on consumer and trade titles, I have gained an instinctive feel for tailoring the tone of a piece for its audience.

As sub editor on a weekly business title that is in constant competition with the national papers for exclusives, I have become a fast and accurate proofreader. In such a high-pressure environment, I have learned to spot inconsistencies and possible instances of libel while working to a tight schedule.

In terms of IT experience, I am fully trained in Indesign and have a solid knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator, in addition to good Microsoft Office skills.

I would like to move into copywriting because I would relish the opportunity to produce copy that will engage a fresh audience, rather than one that is ready-made.
