I have eight years' experience researching, writing, editing and proof-reading features and articles for online news organisations, international, national and local newspapers and magazines. I now work as a freelance writer and provide writing and marketing services to businesses and individuals ([login to view URL]). In this role, my main contract involves writing features for a trade publication in the catering sector and I've written on a wide range of topics including business profiles, travel articles, reviews of books and restaurants, informative features about relevant governmental legislation and technology, advertising editorials and financial and specialist features. I'm also responsible for producing shorter news items which are either sourced by myself, the editor or culled from press releases. Other contracts have included writing a book on national dishes, medical articles and creating web content for internet sites. I also am co-partner of a public relations company specialising in the promotion of restaurants. Previously I was employed as a features writer in Europe when I wrote articles of interest to the expatriate community in Andalucia. As a result, I interviewed entertainers, authors and movers and shakers on the Costa del Sol, attending international festivals and performances. I think I possess a versatile writing style, an ability to absorb information quickly and produce elegant (humorous if required), concise and clear copy. I relish the challenge of writing about unfamiliar topics and tackle any subject with enthusiasm. I possess good organisational skills and an ability to prioritise work. My editorial skills include faultless grammar and spelling, a keen eye for mistakes and an ability to create effective headlines. Having worked as a proof-reader at a professional level, I always maintain meticulous standards of accuracy and fluency, achieving deadlines. I was born and bred and now live in Yorkshire, England and am married with a teenage family of four. As well as enjoying writing in any form whatsoever, my interests include live music ranging from heavy metal to jazz, socializing, cooking, travelling and climbing mountains.
