About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

It is with great interest that I am attaching my CV and writing samples to be considered for your advertised position of freelance content writer with Creativepool, which I saw on your website.

I have worked on a range of online and print publications in a variety of cross-cultural environments, and I am calm under pressure and an excellent communicator who thoroughly enjoys working to create original, striking copy. Having produced and edited copy for both media and content websites, I am adept at rapidly adjusting my editing and writing style for different in-house style requirements. I am passionate about creating vivid content that tells a story, whether in a feature piece or a travel/culture article and I relish the challenge of crafting snappy headlines and captions that compel people to click and read.

I am deadline driven and thrive under pressure, having researched and interviewed subjects and then produced and sub-edited copy on demand, as well as responded to current hard news events. I am also experienced in working collaboratively with non-English-speaking editors and translators to ensure that all English language content meets the highest standards of accuracy, both grammatically and factually. I am a strong and diplomatic communicator who values both tight-knit teamwork and powerful individual contributions within the team.

I believe that I would make a very positive contribution to your organization. 
I look forward to further discussing the role with you. 



Sincerely,

Simon Stafford
