Writer with 20 years industry experience
Having worked as a newspaper, magazine and on-line journalist for over 20 years, I know that crisp, concise copy without verbose padding captures a reader’s attention. What’s more, I’m the sole writer in my business, so you will always deal with me.
Brochure copy—Short, snappy, jargon free brochure copy will clearly convey your message and set you apart from your rivals.
Blogging content—Outsource your blogging content on a regular basis so clients see you are active and personally involved in your business.
Customer testimonials—Positive testimonials offer proof that your business is serving clients well.
Editing, rewriting and proofreading—Transform your copy into fresh, jargon-free everyday language.
Feature stories—Editors are always looking for fresh feature articles. I can write to a prescribed length and ensure your feature story is conversational, informative and flows well.
Humorous columns—Need some humour to lighten up your in-house magazine, blog or website? I have written countless columns both online and in print and enjoy finding humour in everyday life.
In-house magazine stories—Stories, interviews and readable, informative articles that flow well will help make your in-house magazine a pleasure to read.
Interviews—No time to conduct client or staff profile interviews? No matter where your location, I can interview via phone or Skype. Face-to-face if Brisbane-based.
Press releases—Grab the attention of editors with a well-written press release that conveys your message succinctly.
Reviews—A well-crafted book, product, service or event review is a sure way to get noticed.
Website content—Need fresh or revamped website content? Remember, not only search engines read your copy—potential clients will land on your site and they’ll want to read well written website content.
