My name is Emily. I am currently working as a freelancer in South Africa. I have ample experience in copywriting, editing, original writing of many kinds and thinking creatively - especially to bring innovative ideas to life. More than this, I completed a Masters degree in Media studies that demanded excellent research skills and a fundamental understanding of how to put thoughts into a coherent argument. In my thesis, I focused on how representation in video games and the overall culture affected the ability of women to immerse themselves in the space. This gave me insight into the industry on an expert level, especially on current issues it faces. I held two editor positions at Bizcommunity.com for 2 years before deciding to move into freelance work. I was also a freelance copywriter for 3 years for Blue Sky Scribes, where I wrote on topics ranging from electricity to marketing. I have held several leadership positions that include managing and captaining an esports team for 2 years, running tournaments and being an admin for the local Overwatch community for a year, freelancing as a video games writer for many years, running the print section of The Oppidan Press at Rhodes University and chairing the gaming society, also at Rhodes University. I am dedicated, reliable, tenacious and have always been drawn to creativity.Scriptwriting

Content is a funny beast. It changes as the times change, and takes a very certain type of person to both understand it, and keep up with its complexities. But it is always there, always all around us. I love content. I see it everywhere, from social media to web sites, to adverts for DStv on DStv (which, let’s face it, drives us all mad). Content is essential for any business to thrive, and I love creating and managing that content. Over the years I have been involved in pretty much every type of content, and I have developed a knack for knowing just what is needed where, and exactly how to get a message across so that it resonates with its specific target market. I am an outgoing and engaging people’s person who loves working within a team and bringing out the best in people. I have mentored youngsters, imparted knowledge, and seen those youngsters’ flourish. My attention to detail is a driving force in my life and has benefitted me in my strong design and writing background. I love to create, to spin stories out of thin air, and to make a person’s day brighter by making them smile. I am equally good with short, punchy writing as I am at waxing lyrical. I am also an exceptionally fast learner and relish taking on new challenges in all forms. I love to write. I love deadlines. And I would love to partner with your company. In my ten plus years of writing I have spent over 7 of them in agencies. I think that's why my hair is so grey. I have written on everything from anal sex to baby formula to how to get better cell signal. See, if you don't have good cell signal, you may end up doing other things, and then need baby formula. I have written long form, short form, digital form, print form, above the line, below the line, on the line, and line adjacent.Scriptwriting
