Writing Services

The death of print has long been predicted, but the prophesies are premature. The fact is, online magazines and websites have added to the printed word, not replaced it. For more than 20 years I've written for local magazines and newspapers on a freelance basis, covering everything from front page stories on murderers to theatre reviews and celebrity interviews. A particular focus has been writing advertorials promoting businesses as diverse as packaging suppliers and podiatrists. Among the businesses and organisations who have used my services are:

* Northampton Borough Council
* Network Arts
* The Movement for Classical Renewal
* The Herald & Post
* The Chronicle & Echo
* Emille Publications
* Access All Areas and more...

However, it isn't only businesses who find they need an experienced writer. Standing in front of a room full of people to make a speech, give a talk to a group or a eulogy for a friend is nervewracking enough without having to worry about what you're going to say. Or maybe you want to liven up your CV, record your memoirs, need to organise an essay or report, or simply make sure your manuscript isn't littered with mistakes. In every case, I can help.

The lists below are only a sample of the writing services I can offer. The process starts with your needs. I listen to what you're hoping to achieve and discuss the alternatives to come up with attention-grabbing copy that not only snags the interest of your target readers or audience, but keeps it. My style is tailored to suit the medium and to capture your individuality.

Packages or one-off projects are catered for. If you would like to promote your business, or have an event or service that you'd like to highlight, email me at: dearsleyworks@yahoo.co.uk
