About me

My day job as a freelance copywriter and marketing and communications specialist which means I get to do what I like best which is writing stuff: I think I am justified in calling myself a copywriter, editor, proofer, reader, adviser, thinker, reader and marketer, although not always at the same time or necessarily in that order.

I love words and writing. I want to help those who think they can write well, or those who know they can't but try anyway, and show them the joy and beauty of what can be achieved beyond the jargon and complexity. I love talking to people and challenging them: getting to understand what they want to achieve rather than what they think they want to say. I like taking ideas and being creative with them.
I am currently updating my work on my (rather neglected) blog but you can see some examples here: */
