Copywriting

Copywriting, like editing, is often a confidential service – some projects can’t appear on a portfolio page, and you definitely won’t see any ‘before and after’ examples.

Over the years my writing has appeared in books and e-zines, I’ve ghostwritten and written business information and articles for websites. I also help write information that appears on award-winning gin and vodka bottles.

You’ll find me in these directories:

CIEP (Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading) 

PTC (The Publishing Training Centre)

ProCopywriters (the alliance of commercial writers)
