This experience gave me a good eye for a news story, the ability to research and interview and to write clear, concise copy. I have experience of writing a variety of literature, for both corporate and consumer projects and for a wide range of different audiences. I am used to seeing a copywriting project through from initial stages of research and interview, to writing and editing, liaising with designers to choose and place graphics or animation, and with printers to bring the project in under budget and to a high quality. I work quickly and accurately, and can turn my hand to anything from a manifesto on eco-paper manufacturing to a company annual report, copy for a new website or a product brochure for the beauty industry.
