Skills
I'm offering
Over the last three years I've been working as a freelance project assistant, using my editorial skills to proof-read, write and also compile copy. I've also helped to analyse surveys to compile reports and create data.
I'm going to carry on doing that but I need more work. I'm looking for challenges, a variety of projects and the chance to contribute to projects or publications/websites or reports/business statements.
I enjoy subbing, writing and interviewing and I love subbing news, business news, analyses and in-depth features.
My favourite moments include cutting copy to fit – and keeping the essence of the article; getting some real insights out of an interviewee;
adding to a web story with really meaningful links and illustrations;
planning a page, commissioning or requesting copy and pulling it all together and creating a story from a combination of sources, including an interview.
