Journalism

I have been in the journalism business for a decade and have written and reported for some of the biggest names in news. Wherever you are in the world, I can provide writing, reporting and editing for your website, newspaper or blog, on a one-off or an ongoing basis - especially if you focus on technology, business, media and cultural change.

Copywriting

Sure, your website or brochure may have flashy visuals and whizzy Ajax controls - but what good is that without effective, targeted communication? My experience on the dark side (marketing), which includes sending electronic newsletters to thousands of subscribers, means I can help focus your message - and I’m anal enough to spot the spelling and grammar mistakes you didn’t even know were there.

Blogging

I monitor niches like a demon and can distill latest news, trends and key commentary in snappy posts for the burgeoning micropublishing sector. You might say niches are my niche - I manage a network of 20 weblogs on topics from science fiction to politics and provide insight to those looking to understand the really new media. If your company or media organisation is interested in taking to the blogosphere, I’d love to talk.

Strategy

You may think an online publishing strategy extends as far as decent copywriting and search engine optimisation. But how about using social media to push your buzz into the farthest reaches of the web? I can help plan your website launch to make best use of latest content production tools and techniques, making it easy to get your message out, not just on your site - and plenty of others, too.
