My experience as a freelancer has awarded me many opportunities in the writing, editing, proofreading, and marketing fields. I attribute my knowledge, skills, and success to the opportunities I have been given throughout my 20 years of freelancing. I am more than grateful to have had that kind of exposure. My creative abilities and nutcracker imagination have contributed to my unique writing skill, just as having a birds-eye view has helped me with accuracy when proofreading and editing.

    Searching for a writer – look no further. Yes, I can give you a full-blown corporate lowdown on what I have done and how, but is that really what you want to see? I am a copywriter with experience across the bank. Most importantly, I know how to write in a conversational tone. Can AI write engaging copy that relates to people? Maybe, if you train it well. The point is, amongst the digital noise, social media, and the rest, you need writing that speaks to humans honestly. You want stories that touch their lives. Yes, even tech stories can have a personality. A director I used to work with always said: "You first have to engage a person emotionally before you can expect them to create change." Well, that said. Let me write your next article. My CV will give you the 10-year experience spiel. Ps. This text got a 100% rating on Grammarly.

    “Where your talents and the world's needs cross, there lies your vocation.” — Aristotle As a woman of many talents, I pride myself in the ability to cultivate the written word into something truly heart-wrenching and timeless. My vocation lies in poetry, growing writers to their fullest potential, and making sure that even the smallest works look and feel monumental to the consumer. I run a Johannesburg-based publishing company called Chasing Dreams Publishing, having edited, developed and published an array of South African literature under our brand and independently. I have written copy for brands such as Writer's Bloc International, featured as a Ghost Writer for a locally acclaimed Young Adult Fantasy book series, as well as made guest appearances in online productions such as the Hear My Voice Poetry Relief Fund, the We Are Becoming More Than Enough web series, as well as taken a lead role in the Appreciate A Mosali documentary now recognized at the Rapid Lion International Film Festival. All of these opportunities were presented to me based entirely on my writing, my cultivation of the arts as well as my interconnectivity with humanity. It would be an honour and a privilege to assist you in bringing your ideas and your writing to fruition. Sasta

    Be brave. That's my mantra as a writer, no matter what the content. When I'm writing articles and blogs, my primary aim is to create shareable content that pushes boundaries. It takes courage to create something new, because writing is at its most potent when it is brutally honest. I live in Johannesburg, South Africa, and work primarily as a content creator for mental health startups. During four years of a post-graduate psychology degree, mental health and wellness became my passion. I've been on both sides of the couch, and I have an in-depth understanding of personality struggles, mental illness, and what it means to get well. Writing fiction is my passion. I'm currently working on my second novel, a queer love story with dark political undertones. I also provide editing services and creative writing mentorship.

My key skills include: - Creative Writing - Plot Development - Character Development - Screenwriting - Script Editing - Ghost Writing Whether on page or on screen, I have the skill to lead your story by the hand and discover its secrets.

    Digital Communicator, Voice Over Artist, Facilitator and Creative Content Creator. I am a professional facilitator with a Bachelors Degree in Education from the University of South Africa, Blair Singer Level 1 Training Certification and a John Maxwell Trainer. I’ve written 3 unpublished fictions and 1 unpublished non-fiction. Currently, I’m blogging my insights on my personal website (see link in relevant fields). But that doesn’t define me. Like the foundation work on an antiquated building, designed in the Era of The Artisan, my credentials are the structure of what I do. But it’s really the way that I do it, the flow and rhythm of my words, that truly encapsulates my work. It is the polished red brickwork, the gables and gardens that draw people’s attention to the building. Born from a family of readers, I learnt from an early age that words had a power of their own. They could hook, pull, push and incense. In one hand they were weapons. In another they were tools. This curiosity encouraged me to delve deeper into the exploration of what made words so powerful. 15 years later I’m still searching for these answers. I write because I love to, and I continue to write because I understand that there are good, honest people in the world who want to build bridges between themselves and the people around them. Words can do that. Words have done that. Words will continue to do that for centuries to come. I look forward to working with you.

    My work experience includes journalism, corporate communications, editing, and PR communications. These positions have provided me with wide-ranging experience doing the two things I enjoy most: writing and proofreading. Because my work has often been deadline driven, I have proven my ability to maintain accuracy and quality, even when required to work quickly. I am therefore confident that I would prove an asset to any business looking for a high-quality content creator or editor.

    Hello there, my name is Giovanni and I am a freelance copywriter, researcher, writer, and novice WordPress developer. I am a postgraduate from Rhodes University in South Africa, where I received my Bachelor of Social Sciences in Psychology and History, later completing my Honours degree in History. My speciality lies in research gathering and interpretation of historical patterns, as well as the analysis of social and behavioural actions/manifestations of individuals. My Honours thesis was a mix of historical research gathering and psychological and critical interpretation. What does this mean for you, and what skills can I bring to the table? It means that I can 1) assist with research gathering and data/information interpretation, relevant for UX studies/evaluations and other endeavours. 2) That I can offer insights regarding user feedback inferred from psychology. 3) That I can provide you with a critical eye and focus to detail, a skill that transfers to my writing and creativity. Aside from this, I am constantly learning and striving to better my skills. My most recent projects are learning to code in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS; and web development using WordPress (You can see some of my created websites below in my portfolio). I am available for copywriting, researching, content creation and writing, WordPress designs, transcription, editing, and proofreading. I am here to assist you to the best of my ability and in any way possible. “There’s always a story. It’s all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything’s got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.” – A Hat Full of Sky by Sir Terry Pratchett.
