A good editor teases out the key messages while holding onto the writer’s voice. If you have something to say - or just have to say something - I can help. My skills were forged from twelve years as an advertising copywriter, business journalist and editor at a think tank. In thousands of published articles, I’ve simplified and explained all types of reports, papers and documents. If it was dry, I made it sound sexy. If it was already sexy, I added intrigue. What sets me apart is my experience creating those complex reports you see discussed in newspapers. I actually got journalists interested in economics. Not an easy task, let me tell you! I know the power of clear writing and telling a fun story. Writing is clear when a stranger in a loud, crowded bar can understand the sentence. That’s my goal. So, what story do you want to tell?

⭐️ Hi, I'm Abbey – Welcome to my profile! ⭐️ I am a copywriter, editor, and former journalist with extensive experience working in the media and communications industry in New Zealand and abroad (I recently returned from living and freelancing in Ireland and across wider Europe). After a significant stint as a News Journalist and then a Senior Copywriter at a marketing firm, I have been working as a "floating" freelancer for several years now, writing copy for a myriad of mediums across an eclectic range of industries. As a writer, it's a natural skill to know a little bit about a lot of things, so where my knowledge is lacking, my research skills certainly make up for it! Here is just some of the content I have covered: ✍🏼 Blogs and Articles ✍🏼 Website and E-Commerce Copy ✍🏼 Product Descriptions ✍🏼 Social Media Copy ✍🏼 White Papers and Case Studies ✍🏼 Technical Writing ✍🏼 Email Campaigns ✍🏼 Newsletter Copy ✍🏼 General Advertising and Collateral I utilise my investigative skills, storytelling ability, and experience with SEO writing to generate original (non-AI-generated), well-researched content for every project that comes across my desk. Each piece of content I create is laser-focused on being informative, highly engaging, and often structured for lead generation. My approach to working with my clients is all about getting to the root of the message they want to get across to their audience. People connect with stories, things that target their pain points, and offers that solve their problems. I work closely with my clients to determine what those messages are and present them in a compelling way that hooks their audience and keeps them coming back for more. I write for clients all over the world, the majority of which have been retainer or return clients for an extended period of time. I have also had the pleasure of ghostwriting for clients who contribute to the likes of Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Fast Company. Some of the industries I have covered: 💡Print & Digital News Journalism 💡Print & Online Magazines 💡Startups/Small Businesses 💡Finance and Investing 💡Leadership and Development 💡Technology, Additive Manufacturing & Engineering 💡Beauty, Skincare, and Health and Fitness 💡Food, Wine & Fashion 💡Education 💡Marketing Agencies 💡Trades and Home Services 💡Transport, Petroleum, and Concrete 💡Snowboarding, Skiing and Outdoor Sports If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to hearing from you and hope we can work together to grow your business.
