PR? Copywriting? Communications advice? You've come to the right place

What I do...

  • Web copywriting

  • Copywriting for print

  • Writing and journalism, from books to magazine articles

  • PR and marketing communications advice

  • Media relations planning and implementation

  • Training in media communication and copywriting

     I'm an experienced freelance copywriter - I'll provide the copy for your website, leaflets, brochures, mailshots, press releases, newsletters, displays, speeches, scripts, advertisements, anything that uses words.
     If you need help with media relations, I can help you to get coverage in the appropriate press - local, national, trade, specialist - or help you to do this yourself.  If you're already in the spotlight, I can advise you on turning it to your advantage.  If you're in the spotlight for the wrong reasons, I can help you there too.
    If you're not sure how best to reach your target audience, I'll review your business aims and advise you on the best use of marketing communications to achieve them.
     And all this is entirely FREE!  Well, at least it is for the introductory meeting.  After that - I'll let you know.  Let's just say I charge a lot less than the big agencies (though I have a big-agency background), but a bit more than people who don't have my experience in PR and journalism.

 

.. and how I do it

At your invitation I will come to see you to talk about your business, where it's going, where it should be going and how better communication can help.  I'll put down in writing what I think needs to be done, how I propose to do it and what it is likely to cost.  If you're happy, we start work.
   A little copywriting might take a few hours; a substantial, continuing programme might need a few days per month.
