Here's the skinny: I sell words because my words sell. I'm a freelance copywriter, journalist, and writer.Here's a story: I went to uni. Big deal, right? In fact, I attended two such academic sausage factories writ large. As one of my editors remarked (whose mind was never tainted by one) they "imparted much wisdom." Which is true.Scarpering off with an armful of degrees a journalist (or media consultant, copywriter, music critic...take your pick) it does not make. Stepping down from education's ivory tower and into the field as stony subjects and jagged events are thrown at you is where one tests his mettle.So I sit people down, poke around their minds some. Glean the facts. Brush away the irrelevant dirt. Mess about underneath the skin of words, slinking off with my hands soaked in column-feet of ink. Clients and audiences walk away forever transformed. (Well, most of the time.)I've worked in cubicles, newsrooms, on my own and with teams. I enjoy covering music (criticism, journalism and general writing) but I've also tackled politics (groan), media, men's issues and finance in my past. Perhaps again in my future - who knows, really. I write copy for business that's SEO'd, particular and precise. I consult with you if you don't know what I'm talking about so you will. I'll manage media projects from concept to execution. Got some new thing (tangible or less than?) Let's get people talking about how great it is. Let's cut the crap, for once.Uni never taught me that. I did. Hire me and you can benefit from what I never learned there too.Specialties: journalism, research, professional communication, branding, marketing, critical analysis, creative thinking, graphic design, writing, editing, proofing, promotions, copywriting, public relations, social media, media consulting, media buying, and domain names. I know way too much about domain names, trust me. I can tell you what gTLD means without even flinching.
