Simon Watkinson Email & Phone Number

Since 1995, my feature articles and press releases on developmental, environmental, public health and social isues have been published in both British and international journals. During this time, I have also enhanced the web and print literature of numerous organisations including: Nestlé Nespresso; the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF); the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), which is based in Geneva; The Leprosy Mission (TLM); the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); the International Energy Agency (IEA); and Tisbury & Ash Vine micro breweries. Since April 2013, I've also been working freelance as a consultant copywriter and copy editor for Nestlé Nespresso SA. In the spring of 2008, I thoroughly enjoyed producing two 2,500-word advocacy papers on how best to reduce the incidence and burden of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa for the Roll Back Malaria partnership (RBM) for use at the 2008 World Health Assembly.You can view some of my published work on my website, www.simonwatkinson.org, which I designed and implemented myself. I also have much professional experience in the use of social media.Clear and concise, easily readable English is the lifeblood of any public entity or private company. A badly constructed sentence, with poor English grammar and spelling mistakes, could result in a misunderstanding that could damage yo public profile and literally cost you billions. So why risk it? Contact me if you need my help with professional copy editing, copywriting feature writing, drafting of press releases or advertising copy, or consultancy on magazine layout and content.Fluent in French with proficiency in German and Spanish, attention to detail is my hallmark and I work easily on my own initiative. My speech is a little slow due to a near-fatal life-changing head injury in 1973 but don't worry, once you get to know me you'll find I have a keen sense of humour and, most importantly, don't bite!
