Hello, I have been a professional writer in Christchurch (Canterbury, New Zealand) since 1984-ish. From a background of agriculture broadcasting and journalism, the market moved me into freelance (in the classical sense) writing at that time. My work has tended to have a strong bias towards agriculture ever since. By that I mean that most of my clients have been, and still are, agribusinesses. But I also have clients in the finance, risk management and various other sectors. For some clients, I write and manage market communications projects (mainly newsletters) while others know me as a responsive, reliable and experienced complement to their own in-house or agency writing capacities. They know me as someone who can readily get his head around a tricky brief and deliver by the agreed deadline. When I tell people I meet socially I'm a freelance writer, nine times out of ten they respond: "Oh really? And what do you write?" (Do you think photographers ever get asked "What do you photograph?" or accountants what they account?) The answer is anything — newsletters, booklets (yes, even the odd book), media releases, ad campaigns, speeches, brochures, pamphlets, leaflets, flyers, limericks — you name it and I have done it at some stage. I try to be very user-friendly and I pride myself on offering an excellent service, which is why I've survived in this business for so long (it's no cake-walk). And I am not using it as a stepping-stone to the great New Zealand novel, so my clients get my full attention — and the assurance that I will still be here next year. Maybe I can help you get your words in the right order inside the right timeframe? Give me a call — I'm a very friendly guy. Not like a writer at all! :-) Dave McKinnon N.B. I run a professional service for the business sector; while I am happy to give advice about writing and writing projects, I cannot, generally, undertake to assist private individuals to have their material published.
