About me

Greetings!

I love to write. For the past five years, writing has been the predominant feature of my day job - then I retreat to the comfort of my sofa in the evenings to write my blog. When I saw the advertised role of a Freelance Copy Writer for Creativepool, my eyes lit up - this is the opportunity that I have been waiting for!

I've lived in Manchester for twelve years now, and have completely immersed myself in the creative side of the city. I love to discover new places, attend interesting events, seek out new creative talent, and cycle around my city, keeping my eye on what is occurring around me. Having worked in the fashion industry for the past nine years, I would say that I have impeccable knowledge of the ins and outs of the fashion world - ranging from high end luxury fashion, to local vintage-inspired labels and rockabilly brands. I also have a very keen interest in photography, travel, architecture and interiors, music and art.

How active am I in Manchester's creative scene

Whilst I may not have experience writing for a publication, I more than make up for this with my wealth of experience writing for websites and blogs. I managed the content of the blogs in my two previous roles at Flannels and Lindy Bop, writing about a diverse smorgasbord of topics including fashion, film, art and travel. I have been writing my own personal blog since 2008, and greatly enjoy musing about the aforementioned subjects, but also photography and interiors.

Alongside writing, I also have a very keen interest in photography and I also have advanced Photoshop skills. I believe that a story is not complete unless the writing is accompanied by powerful imagery that clearly complements the text.

I have extensive experience both working within and managing small teams, and feel that I can easily slot into place within the structure of Creativepool. I'm incredibly organised (some may say obsessively!) and would be more than capable of managing my workload and working from home.

If you wish to see examples of my writing, I can supply these upon request.

I hope to be considered for the role, and look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Emma Lavelle
