About the service:

I am a freelance writer with over four year's professional experience. Located in Manchester, England, English is my first and only language.

My writing is published online - on news sites, blogs, and other websites, and in print - in established newspapers and magazines.

My specialist subjects are tech, finance, environmental issues, religion, social justice, and self development.

If I have bid on your project it is because I relish the prospect of writing the content you need. I only bid on jobs for which I can provide an exemplary, enthusiastic, and professional service.

Philosophy
Good writing always tells a story. Stories resonate with the reader, regardless of the subject.

Good writing is clear and concise. Clear writing shows respect for the reader.

Good writing uses correct spelling and grammar, and a balanced structure. Well balanced writing gives the reader a feeling of harmony.

Good writing has a personal touch. It makes the reader feel like they know the writer.

Exceptional writing makes people excited to be alive. Its simple beauty and elegance are inspirational.
