Copy Editing

Ensure your business communications and documents are well crafted and fit for purpose with a professional copy edit. I will make sure what you send your clients reads well without affecting your personal writing style. That may include changing sentences or paragraphs around, checking names and facts, or editing it to the required length.

Press kits for corporate and media relations

Editors are constantly bombarded with press releases and most go straight into the bin, unless they are written specifically for the publication and require minimal editing. Journalists need press kits that are comprehensive, with copy that’s ready to go to press. The Write Stuff can deliver professional PR content that meets industry standards. Recent projects include coordinating and writing a press kit for political scientist László Szöllősi-Cira’s book New Zealand’s Global Responsibility – a small state’s leading role in establishing progressive ideas (Palgrave McMillan).

Mark is a rare creature in modern journalism – reporter; technical, travel and feature writer; editor. You could rightly call him a jack of all trades but you would have to add, and a master of all. Perhaps the greatest endorsement I can offer is that he is a trusted, respected and active practitioner after more than five decades in the industry – proof of his ability and integrity. Oh, and did I mention that he’s a bloody good guy to work with?
