If you’ve been reading for the last few weeks, thank you for indulging me! As I said last week, this review was submitted on spec to In Brief… and I’ve reproduced it here.

Read MoreI hope you’ve had a good break and looking forward to a busy and productive 2017. I’ve decided to have a theme for each month of the year, with a blog on a related topic every week.

Read MoreAs you’ll know if you’ve ever met me or read my About page, being a writer was all I wanted to do from a really young age. Making the decision 18 months ago to focus my business solely on copywriting has been hugely rewarding personally and professionally, and I’ve been fortunate to work with some great people. Until a month […]
