Copywriting and editorial services

Copywriting

Copywriting sounds complicated but it just means that I write copy (words) that sell.

While email, telephone and Skype means I can work with you wherever you are, I'm based in Witham, Essex.

Long copy - articles, brochures, leaflets, newsletters, websites (taking Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) into account) and so on - is my speciality but I can help you with pretty much anything you need.

My coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) experience is especially helpful when working with different kinds of clients and writing for a range of audiences.

Selected Clients/Experience:

. Atlantis Healthcare

. Essex County Fire & Rescue Service

· the Kinesiology Federation

. the Institute of Psychotherapy and Social Studies (IPSS)
