Skills for Sale
Ruth can help with any of the following:
• Turn information into clear, effective copy
• Write newsletters, press releases and reports
• Ghost-write articles or larger projects
• Creative features for magazines and newspapers
• Sub-editing and proof-reading
From her background in magazine journalism, Ruth is accustomed to compiling long, in-depth features, snappy news stories, product reviews and interviews. This also taught her how to work to tight deadlines; she can frequently be found working away in the midnight darkness with coffee and toast for company.
Ruth now writes for a variety of clients ranging from big businesses and marketing departments to worthy charities, magazines and websites. She can turn complicated details into clear, sparkling prose, whether it’s from scratch or polishing up a rough draft.
Ruth is always happy to discuss new writing projects and prides herself on providing a prompt, professional, friendly service.
