About Me
Professional ​
Info​​
I'm creative in many different ways. I have written poetry and song lyrics, I love to take photos, and I'm a long time crafter. I think these creative passions come through in a lively writing style and natural curiosity. I love storytelling in all its forms.
​
What do you need words for? I can ask the right questions to create an engaging feature about a music act or creative business, produce unique product copy to boost SEO where there isn't any, or write evergreen, easily updated press material as I did for a touring Queen tribute.
​
Check out my copywriting and journalism portfolios and see how my consistent copy can deliver for your business or publication. I can offer help and experience with features, reviews and previews, web content, blogs, product copy, press material, and more.
I have written around music and entertainment for many years but also delve into books, health and wellbeing, craft, researched travel, and a broad range of copywriting projects, all delivered to brief and deadline.

How I Work:
Where I Work: I work on a remote basis from my home office in Essex. I have a quiet office, internet, and email connections to enable me to work effectively with all my clients.
​
Work Life: I enjoy the flexibility and freedom working as an Essex copywriter and freelance journalist brings and always look to achieve a good balance while offering the same flexibility to clients. I work through agencies and direct with clients, both on my own ideas, and commissioned projects.
Work Enquiries: Please e-mail any time to check my availability or suitability for a project. Where possible please let me know of any deadlines you have with a project, your budget, and what you are looking for. A clear brief will help me to deliver the best possible service to you, and will enable me to get started on the creative process sooner.
