What Professional Services Do You Offer?

As a professional writer, much of my work relates to being commissioned, either as the ghostwriter or as an editor to write or edit a book or existing manuscript on behalf of someone else and in their name. 

You can see some of the books that I have already written on the My Books page

Maybe you or a family member or friend has long wanted to write their life story but either doesn’t have the time or requisite expertise to do so. 

You may have already possess a manuscript that you now want to take to the next stage. Or even just a file of notes, assorted jottings and other bits and pieces of writings that you’d like to see transformed into a manuscript ready for publication. 

At whatever stage your book project is at, I can work alongside you to take it from an idea to a published book.  

I will manage the whole process for and with you. 

Right up to the day when a box of brand-new hardback or softback books with your name on the cover, your name and your story, is delivered to your door. 

I can even, if you wish, help you market and promote your book after publication-including looking to arrange an official launch.

Additional Services

As well as the above, I can also work with you regarding the following. 

Blogs

A blog is a regularly updated page on a website or an individual site that is managed and written by either one individual or a small group. They provide information about a business or service and are ideally written in an informative yet informal and conversational style. 

One of my own blogs, which features my writings about people, places and incidents that I find interesting can be accessed here

If you’d like a regular blog for your business website but don’t have the time to write it yourself and would rather someone manage the whole process for you, then do get in touch so we can have an informal chat about your requirements. 

Alternately, if you already have an existing blog but the last entry on same was made about six weeks ago and you need someone to not only bring it (and your business) up to date but to take over the management of same for you, let me know. 

My personal recommendations are that you commit to at least two blogs a month of around 500-750 words. 

But let’s talk…

Copy Writing

Copywriters create clear, compelling and informative copy for a  range of different commercial reasons. It might be to promote and sell a product or service or to educate and engage current and potential future customers. I can offer a range of services in this field, including web copy (which is what you are reading now); press releases; newsletters and brochures. 

If clear, concise and compelling is what you need, copy that informs, educates and informs, get in touch with me today so we can talk about your requirements and how I can work alongside you to make them a reality.

Feature Articles

A feature article is a medium to longer piece of writing content that covers a single topic (e.g.) person, place or event, in detail and usually with accompanying photographs and illustrations-for example, the sort of piece you might enjoy reading in either a traditional print or digital magazine or newspaper. The pieces in question can include news features, in-depth profiles, human interest stories or interviews with a specific individual. 

I’ve contributed numerous articles within this genre to several publications over the last decade or so as well as writing pieces for BBC Radio Four and always welcome the opportunity to create something of a similar nature for your publication or business. 

Subjects I have covered include current affairs; social history; sport; fashion; local and national history; special events and entertainment. 

Let me know if you’d be interested in commissioning a piece of work of this nature.

Speeches and Presentations 

Few things in life instil the type of dread you may feel if you learn you have been asked to give a speech or presentation at an event. 

Yet, if you research your topic well and learn a few basic rules about how to give a presentation, I can all but guarantee you’ll end up wanting to do more. 

From helping you write your speech or presentation to working alongside you to ensure that your delivery surpasses all expectations, including your own-I can help. I have made dozens of speeches and presentations as part of my work; love doing so and welcome the opportunity to do more. 

So can you. 

Get in touch to find out more-it’d be great if your ‘big day’ isn’t tomorrow, but, even if it is, I will do all I can to help and prepare you.

Whatever your project is, feel free, at anytime, to contact me about it.

Even if you just want to get some thoughts and feedback on it from me before deciding if you want to take it any further.
