Want to hire me?

Great! I've written for AOL, The Times and Aigua Media, and tweeted for a number of brands including Macleans during their Dancing On Ice sponsorship and the Discovery channel. I've worked on copywriting and content projects for Shell, Dorothy Perkins and Quickbooks, as well as working with dozens of small businesses, to get started with social media and blogging. In the last year, I've also started teaching blogging at my local college and will be speaking at several events throughout 2013.

I offer an assortment of packages for various services - ranging from copywriting and blogging to social media consultancy and community management.

Why not have a browse of some of my packages, and see what my clients have to say?
