With more than 25 years on a daily newspaper I have plenty of experience to drawn on from writing everything from news stories to features and opinion pieces, to copy checking and editing. Effective communication is vital in an age where we are showed with information 24/7. Whether a press release or a dissertation, there is a message which must be communicated clearly and accurately. I believe it is vital to be aware of what is happening in the world to give perspective and make the written word relevent, hense I make a point to keeping myself informed on subjects such as education, the law, health (mainstream and alternative), the environment and local and international politics. I have a wide range of interests that assists in getting to grips with any material. I feel strongly that any task taken on must be done well and delivered on time, it a a matter of respect from the client and myself. Thank you
