I have worked as a full-time professional writer and editor within the digital media sphere in the UK since the infancy of web publishing in the mid-1990s. I am fully conversant with the ever-changing commercial and competitive needs of creating the right kind of eye-catching content - such as blogs and various social networks and platforms - in a world dominated by the rise of the smartphone and social media. I am a dynamic and highly-motivated individual, with top-notch writing, editing and communication skills, a strong news sense and broad expertise in the ever-changing digital and social media world.I write with style, flair, accuracy and dynamism, honed through years of experience in print, digital, mobile and now social media content as a writer and editor. I am a fast, reliable and accurate worker, and always hit - and more often than not beat - tight deadlines. I file fresh, original and lively copy that's never dull nor turgid, and with the clients' brief always front and centre of everything I deliver.I am easy to work with, imaginative, versatile and always open to new ideas. I am a stickler for good grammar and accuracy, and have first-rate sub-editing skills. I am conscientious, professional, well-organised and always go the extra mile to file crisp, clean, engaging and fully-subbed copy as my suppliers are entitled to expect. I live in the buzzy and dynamic Kent seaside town of Deal, on the south coast of England, 75 miles from London.The high speed train from London St Pancras now serves Deal on an hourly basis, making the capital easily accessible and just 1hr 20mins away. My clients who commission me for freelance writing work are always guaranteed a highly-professional, polished and quality job when they hire me, with good communication throughout and zero fuss. And for a professional journalist of many years' experience, you'll find that my hourly, daily and per-project rates are very competitive.
