Writing Samples: 
​


  • Please find examples of my writing on this page. Although I have been writing professionally for over fifteen years, I have not included work that I have written for clients here. This is to respect their privacy -especially as some clients requested a ghost-writer. Consequently, most of the following documents were written for my TV Journalism MA (City University, London).
​
  • If you would like to see a different kind / type of document to the ones below then please email me your requirements. I will see if I have samples of work which are similar to what you require. If I do then I will email them on or, if ghost-written, I will then check if the past clients (that I wrote the pieces for) are happy for me to email them on to you and, if so, I'll send them on!

  • The titles of the links are self-explanatory. The first link contains eight further links and exemplifies eight different types of web content that I can create. I have introduced and explained each document in it's opening paragraph/s.​​

1-8) Online Journalism samples: 


During my Journalism MA we did an 'Online Journalism' module -in groups of four we created a website and we each contributed 8 different types of articles to it. Our website was about Burlesque (I wanted it to be about Travel or Wildlife but we needed to pick something everyone was happy with hence I agreed to burlesque).

We created a group website but, since it is hard for you to find my contributions on it, I created the following website, (with only my contributions), to make it easier for you/clients to view my work. You can see my 8 contributions by visiting the following website

                                                          www.burlesquejournalism.wordpress.com
​
The topic ( burlesque ) is irrelevant as my skills can be just as easily applied to creating varied online content about other topics more relevant to your company.

The 8 different types of content we needed were:
  1. An audio-visual interview.
  2. A video interview which we filmed and edited.
  3. Curation –I chose to do a YouTube Burlesque playlist.
  4. A guest blog / Community-driven content.
  5. A data story…
  6. An info-graphic / visual content.
  7. Text interviews (I did two).
  8. A LiveBlog (blogging live from an event –text, tweets, videos, photos, etc).
