Professional & Personal Overview

I am a freelance writer with 5 years of copy and content editing experience, 20 published articles over the last year and my first book publishing in January. I specialize in online and auction trading (particularly eBay) but I am looking to move into other areas as well.

I am interested in projects on any topic, but I have a particular expertise in health and diet, technology, eBay/online trading, website marketing, military, and international culture.

I have covered live events with immediate deadlines, but also worked on feature projects that required detailed research and interviews.

I have a flexible writing style from satirical British commentaries to strictly factual press release roundups. I adapt to house styles quickly and my copy editing experience makes reviewing my work a little easier on editors. Please contact me using this link.
