Before I became freelance I worked as a technical writer for an investment bank in Germany for 7 years, where I was employed to write and translate documentation for traders.

My Work
Research
As part of any brief a certain amount of research is always required. Even if I am working for a regular client on a regular commission it is essential that I stay up to date with news and developments in their specific business environment or area of practice.

Copywriting
Copywriting is any piece of writing that offers a product or service for sale, however that doesn't mean that the piece of writing has to be written as a hard sell. The majority of my work is copywriting in one form or another: from advertorials to newsletters and brochures, almost everything I write is written to sell something for my client. I might be directly selling a product such as a real … More...
Print Media
The tangibility of print media should never be underestimated; i.e. there could be significant value in producing a printed product for your clients, such as a brochure or guide to your services. It’s a well-researched and documented fact that a reader’s attention span is far greater offline than it is online, where there are too many distractions and readers are likely to only skim read … More...
