"Margaret is my go-to person when I need any professional writing work. She's passionate about communication and very quickly digs into any tasks."
"Loved working with Margaret. From the very first interview, I could tell she had the expertise I needed. She was able to take a very complex business offering and word it in a way my audience could understand. She provided great insights on how to accomplish what I set out to do. I highly recommend her!"
"An absolute professional on Upwork. I'd recommend Margaret to anyone. Easy, friendly and great to work with."
"I think you do a great job. I like the style of content and it is gripping."
"Content looks great, and very relevant to my clients."
"Margaret came in to help me when I was in a pinch for a demanding customer. She immediately jumped in, and did so graciously as well as with great quality. She saved my butt! I know she can do that for you, too."
They're testimonials from my clients. So, what can I do for you?
I'm an award-winning writer who connects businesses and publications with their customers and readers. It's about building engagement and experiences through great content - articles, blogs, emails, sales funnels, case studies, scripts and media releases.
* You'll be working with an award-winning former staff journalist for Australia's top newspapers (The Age, Australian Financial Review, and News Corp titles). Plus, I've worked for many clients including corporates and government agencies across Australia and internationally.
* You can give me a brief or I can suggest ideas you might like to consider for content, too (I have postgrad quals in communication management and have managed strategic and media communications for organizations and businesses in Australia). If you need, I can research in depth to produce content for diverse audiences and media organizations. And, yes, I have SEO on my radar, too.
* For 30 years, I've worked professionally as a journalist and content marketing writer with solid contacts across Australia and abroad. I've nudged past 1,000 LinkedIn contacts, by the way.
* Specializations include:
* small business, particularly writing about startups and entrepreneurs -
