I'm a self-confessed 'plan-a-holic' running on autocorrect. Time stands still when I'm immersed in text playing 'spot the error' or working to refine the end piece.
Marketing is not my thing – creating content is. I write, edit, refine and polish content.
My current work is focused on website and social media content, primarily in the health, beauty and wellbeing space.
The range of content I have worked on is broad including, business & travel writing, social media posts, blogs, articles, email campaigns, right through to academic proofreading.
A lover of all things social. Passionate about authentic living and finding the magic in everyday life.

Content writing
Do you need content for your marketing strategy? That's where I come in – you need content, I write it.
Content these days is king. Whether you're growing your audience, engaging with followers or clients, cementing yourself as an expert in your field or you just want to share your thoughts, you need a solid online presence. Keeping your online presence fresh requires consistent and regular content.
Good businesspeople know that working on their business is the best use of their time. Most people don't have the time to write content, don't enjoy writing, aren't good at it or prefer to focus on other areas of their business.
For a fraction of the cost of your own time (and let's face it, your frustration) I'll write your content for you. I create the content you want to fit your marketing strategy. Whether it's a one-off piece or writing for a regular scheduled program I can write it for you.
I like to keep it simple. I provide the text and you upload or post it to your relevant platform. I can provide content for your website, blog, social media posts and/or business paraphernalia.
Get back to doing what you love and leave the content writing to me!
Editing
Editing can be used for business, marketing or academic text to ensure it flows well and uses correct language and grammar.
In business, editing services are useful for improving website and social media content or marketing paraphernalia before going live or being distributed. Editing is popular with organisations applying for government grants and/or other formal submissions that may require a more polished style.
Editing refines and polishes the finish product removing clunkiness and errors. The text is usually altered not simply checked for errors.
ESL students often require editing to assist with their limited understanding of the English language and will have their university essays and papers edited before submitting them. Many students completing their masters will also invest in editing services to polish their work before submission.
Proofreading
Proofreading is used for checking errors only. It doesn't involve altering the text in any way other than to fix errors, which may be a simple typo, a spelling mistake, incorrect word(s) or poor use of grammar and/or punctuation.
Proofreading is often used in marketing content, business submissions, presentations and university-level academic work. Although, any wordsmith would agree that ALL work leaving your desktop should be proofed before you hit the send key!
Costs & Pricing
I like to keep things flexible and try to accomodate my client's preferences for costing styles. I offer a range of pricing options depending on the service(s) and frequency required.
One-off job pricing (guide only):
-
Hourly rate (approx. $45 - $75 per hour, depending on the technicality of the topic and research required to do the work)
-
Price-per-word (approx. $0.10 per word with a minimum of 350 words)
-
Set fee for a specific word count eg; 500, 750 or 1,000 words
Regular scheduled content pricing (guide only):
-
Monthly fee as agreed
-
Hourly rate; costed per piece (via timesheet)
The cost for writing services includes two-rounds of review and amendments.
All new writing jobs require a client brief via telephone or audio-visual call, which is included in the cost of the job. Additional costs may be charged if lengthy or complex briefs are required to understand the job requirements.
Call me to discuss your content needs and we can work out what costing style is best for you.
