I'm offering
I have been a journalist for 18 years, working for titles including the Independent, Monocle and football magazine Champions Journal in the UK, plus FHM, Empire and Rolling Stone in Australia. I can both write and sub edit to a high standard, which means any copy that I put together won't need much work once it's filed. In addition, I have experience of writing both editorial and commercial copy, for both print and online. Another recent project was the ghostwriting of former Manchester United player Ben Thornley's autobiography.
