All Types of Writing and Editing:


​Written and edited a wide range of documents -for example:
articles (e.g. travel articles for magazines), blogs (travel blogs), creative writing, reviews, scripts (e.g. for documentaries and TV, video scripts, shooting scripts, news packages), TV treatments, copywriting (i.e. promotional website content, brochures, promo video scripts, press releases) and other content writing.



writersjournalists.comYou can also visit my general writing site:

www.WritersJournalists.com
 
however this website is aimed at all types of writing and the hourly prices are unlikely to apply.

It is more likely that I will give you a quote or that certain clients, e.g. magazine editors, may propose a standard rate.

Below Here -Work from TV Journalism MA:

During my Journalism MA we did an ‘Online Journalism’ module -in groups of four we created a website and we each contributed 8 different types of articles to it. Our website was about Burlesque (I wanted it to be about Travel or Wildlife but we needed to pick something everyone was happy with hence I agreed to burlesque).

We created a group website but, since it is hard for you to find my contributions on it, and since it may be left to expire, I created the following separate website, with only my contributions to make it easier for you/clients to view them. you can see my 8 contributions by visiting the following website:


                              www.burlesquejournalism.wordpress.com

Even though the topic is not travel, the skills can be just as easily applied to creating varied travel-related content (which you can use on your website, or which can be printed in magazines, etc).

Even though the topic is not travel, the skills can be just as easily applied to creating varied travel-related content (which you can use on your website, or which can be printed in magazines, etc).

The 8 different types of content we needed were:
  1. An audio-visual interview.
  2. A video interview which we filmed and edited.
  3. Curation –I chose to do a YouTube Burlesque playlist.
  4. A guest blog / Community-driven content.
  5. A data story…
  6. An info-graphic / visual content.
  7. Text interviews (I did two).
  8. A LiveBlog (blogging live from an event –text, tweets, videos, photos, etc).

The following documents are not about travel specifically but are particularly relevant if you want me to write you a shooting script and script for a video, or, for example, if you want me to research a documentary and write a treatment. They show my research, writing and analysis skills -please see whichever is most relevant to you:

Please call or email me if you would like to discuss, get a quote, and/or see more samples of my work. I have mainly included writing samples from my recent Television Journalism MA above as a lot of the professional writing work I have done has been ghost-writing for clients and so I don’t want to publish their documents online. I can however send you documents relevant to what you need including travel articles.
​
I have also chosen to include documents from my TV Journalism MA, (as opposed to my Oxford University English MA), as some of you may require travel-related videos/documentaries, etc, which I will also write the shooting scripts and scripts for -consequently the TV Journalism documents are more relevant.
