What I can do for you

Feature Writing

I've written features for some pretty diverse publications. Anything from six page hair features for beauty magazines; investigating strange new complementary therapies; waxing lyrical about facials for consumer spa and beauty publications; and covering nutrition and diet for health & fitness titles. You name it, I've probably had to write something about it.

I've also been lucky enough to be sent on some interesting travel assignments, writing about all-inclusive spa retreats...and 'starve yourself on salad' spartan health farms.

Copy Writing

I can adapt my writing style to any audience.I've worked for the kind of government organisation that uses a lot of jargon, and can be acronym city - I have the knack of turning dry copy and dull subject matter into more engaging articles and producing them for internal and external audiences. I've edited material for corporate publications - annual reports and business plans.

I've also produced printed leaflets for Trading Standards, translating legal concepts into an easily understandable format - and written brochures for complementary health practitioners in an easy, down to earth style.

Web Writing

I love writing for the web, and have created two websites of my own - this one and Relentlessly Positive. I've written copy for websites for years, a lot of which no longer exists because I was writing freelance copy for start ups which started up - then finished up soon afterwards!

I've written serious articles for news sites, and I keep Relentlessly Positive up to date with feelgood stories on a regular basis.

I also source, write, edit and publish most of the news stories for the Government Office for the East of England website.

Public Relations

I also offer a basic PR service - writing and distributing press releases; contacting media; leaflet & promotional material design.
