Why Me?
What makes you the best person for your job?
I am a wordsmith who can provide copy fast and with flair. I can deliver on time, and can deliver copy written to any style. As a sub-editor, I can attention to detail and can help ensure your copy is error-free. As an article-writer, I am competent at researching and interviewing, and can produce copy that is humorous, serious, scientific, in-depth or light-hearted.

What is your best project so far? Why?
One of my best projects was writing an article about Dakar in Senegal for Wallpaper magazine. I arranged the entire feature myself and spent 5 days interviewing, travelling and researching the capital city and the coastline. My most satisfylng website job was writing a website for an orthopaedic surgeon, in order to improve his SEO and provide a resource for his patients - I researched, wrote and edited 11,000 words about the most common injuries treated. I also enjoyed writing a celebrity feature on Jack Osbourne and rock climbing for a Sunday supplement.
