COPYWRITING FOR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
Business writing requires a style quite different from all other writing. It needs to be very concise, very precise and univocal. Business writing requires shorter sentences, an active voice and always describes action rather than mental states. It is always written from the point of view of the company.

COPYWRITING FOR BUILDING, CONSTRUCTION AND HOME DESIGN
Most of my professional writing in Building, Construction and Home Design is for web sites and a lay readership. For that a friendly, succinct, style, even with some humour, is most appropriate. Descriptions of processes are always presented very clearly, often with formatting, such as bullet point and photographs to facilitate quick comprehension.
- Cement Render in Residential Building
- Renovation of Residential House
- Stainless Steel in Contemporary Homes
- Australian Kitchen Design and Appliances
- Intelligent Toilets in Japan
- The Home Building Process - an in-depth explanation of residential building
WRITING FOR COMMUNITY and TRAVEL WRITING
Both these projects required very specific writing styles to appeal to vastly different demographics.
- Editorial for magazine The Villager Mosman (PDF)
- Publicity for Newtown Precinct Association (PDF)
- The Australian Newspaper Travel section Corsica Story (PDF)
COPYWRITING FOR WEBSITES, BLOGS & SEO

- Blog writing for Australian Home Design Directory

When authoring web pages I am always conscious of using targeted search terms which are the cornerstone of search engine optimisation (SEO) and increasing your webpages' Google PageRank.
