I am a freelance writer, editor and proofreader with extensive copywriting experience and a strong background in financial services and property-related writing. For over a decade I have worked both directly with businesses, and in partnership with established marketing and branding consultancies, to produce thousands of pages of website content, blogs, articles, consumer guides and press releases for a wide variety of markets and audiences. My work has ranged from helpful mortgage guides, through economic analysis and news articles, to company and product profiles for engineering and science websites. Magazine work includes writing feature articles for Global Business Magazine, and ghostwriting for business publications including Master Investor Magazine and Global Banking & Finance Review. From 2011 to 2017 I was a staff writer for Your Wellness magazine, with hundreds of published articles on health, exercise and related topics. As an editor and proofreader I have worked with dozens of authors of fiction and non-fiction, as well as corporate clients, to help improve quality and add value to the finished copy. From 2014 to 2018 I worked on a freelance basis with Oxford Literary Consultancy, providing extensive editing support to new and established authors. Other notable editing projects have included the landmark UNESCO publication Memory of the World, published by HarperCollins, and high-profile music releases and tour programmes for artists including the Rolling Stones, Elton John and Take That.
