STOP PRESS! More than 35 corporations, publishing firms, entrepreneurs and ad agencies -- and countless magazines and newspapers -- have counted on my crisp, accurate, hard-sell yet punchy copy for ads, articles, brochures, direct mail, PR, newsletters, and more. Why not join them and get in touch with me today?
* * *
I'm a NUJ-accredited, award-winning writer, editor and all-round wordsmith. I also own MediaMinister – a creative services provider for busy people who need to communicate more compellingly during these information-cluttered times.
* * *
My background includes journalism, marketing communications/PR, creative writing, B2B and corporate writing, copywriting, editing and proofreading. I have more than a decade's professional experience (including writing about business and professional services), and an obsession with words that borders on the unnatural. Yet, I am extremely good at what I do, and have many resources at my disposal. Also, I believe that accuracy counts – and often find myself even proofreading postage stamps!

Most of my projects tend to involve non-fiction copy, such as periodicals (consumer, trade and contract magazines, as well a national and regional newspapers), journals, brochures, newsletters, annual reports, mailshots, press releases, theses, and website content. These commissions involved dealing with text, graphs, tables, illustrations, graphics and spreadsheets. I have worked with copy both on-line and off-line, and, where, appropriate, proofed galleys.

I take pride in what I do, and my work is always of exceptional quality – which is the main reason why clients keep coming back to me. Others include my reputation for attention to detail, respect for deadlines, reliability, versatility, cost-effectiveness and meeting the very highest editorial standards. I am also extremely confident with Americanization/Anglicization.
