Why you should use my services
Language is important. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Written language can be used to great effect, but in a bit-sized communication world – thanks Twitter and WhatsApp – it’s used carelessly, inadequately, unprofessionally and incorrectly.
What many people don’t fully appreciate is that their use of language speaks volumes about their personal and professional qualities, the way they are able to construct and arrange thought, and their respect for communication and language itself.
Poorly written text reveals that you never learned to used English properly (or you simply just don’t care). You should care and make an effort.
Do you think that an email to a client that has spelling and punctuation mistakes portrays you in a professional manner?
Would you take a business report, brochure or company website seriously if it was badly written?
How would you rate your chances of being taken seriously for a job opening if your CV was peppered with typos and formatted shoddily?
I'm here to help.
I have over 20 years' experience as an editor, editor-in-chief, managing editor, publisher and communications agency managing partner, during which time I have worked with some of the world's largest brands and companies to deliver well-written, world-class content.
