strong impact
​​
To do what, exactly?
Well, sometimes, to inform, influence and instruct. Or, perhaps, just to make people aware of what's going on. Other times, it's to get things on the record, bust myths and get the facts right. Good writing can also educate and make tricky stuff easier to understand.
Or, it can be about arguing a case or having a good debate. Or, maybe, it's about getting people to take action.
You might need to create a buzz, draw a crowd or sell some stuff. Sometimes, words are there to entertain. Sometimes, they're all about raising money.
​
They can also tell people what they need to know to improve their health and wellbeing. Words can even help save lives.
​
My services include
My content creation services include copywriting, detailed editing, proofreading, proof-editing, technical and structural editing. I can do it bit by bit, line by line, word by word. Depends what you need. You tell me.
​
I also offer research, project management and publications management.
I'll work with you to understand your brief, your audience and your goals.

You'll also find out more about my approach on the About me page.
​
Why use me and not somebody else?
I'll let other people answer that one. You can find out here what some of those people say about my work.
​
Beyond that, it's up to you.
​​
Show, don't tell
In storytelling, they say 'show, don't tell'. When it comes to content creation services – copywriting, editing, proofreading and the rest – I'd, honestly, also rather do it than talk about it.
​
Let me know if you'd like me to do something for you.
