Mr Favourite Projects (So Far)...
Editing and proofreading research reports on tourism and visitor numbers for a research company, working with high streets and visitor attractions, including the National Trust.
I don’t consider myself a numbers person, but the figures on these reports were fascinating, especially coming out of the pandemic, as the economy continued to change.
Writing the marketing copy to spread awareness of and educate about the restoration of a local listed signals box on an old railway line.
As part of the local authority doing the work, my social media posts had the most engagement the organisation had ever seen, and it was a joy to get creative about how the community could use the restored signal box.
It would have been nice if the restoration team would have told me about putting the mannequin in hi-vis in the window before I turned up – scared the life out of me!
Writing and editing the stories of people included in an award-winning photography exhibition, the Power of Stories.
Depending on the piece, I would edit the story already written or I would use the photo subject’s own words from notes to write their story. I’m always careful in these cases to use a person’s own words, so it’s their voice coming through.
I’m incredibly proud to have been a part of this project. The stories told are incredibly important and so interesting.
What People Say About Me
How It Works and Works It Costs
Prices are flexible depending on your budget and the type of work you’re after, and if you have a really interesting project I’d love to be a part of!
Discounted retainers are also available if you’d like to book a specific number of hours with me a month, for such things as blogging.
If you’re interested, get in touch for a chat and quote.
Then, if you’re happy to go ahead, I’ll send over a contract agreement (or you send over yours) along with an invoice for a deposit of an agreed sum (usually 50%).
The final invoice will be with you on completion of the work.
You pay the invoice, job’s a good ‘un!
The Frequently Asked Question Portion
What's your AI Policy?
Excellent question!
Everything I write and create is the work of a human (which I am, last time I checked).
Check out Folkitory’s AI policy here.
I would be ever so grateful if you could NOT put my writing through AI. Thank you.
Will you come work in our office?
That’s very kind, but no thank you.
I have a nasty habit of having panic attacks in offices and find I can do a quicker, better job from the comfort of my own home.
Plus, it will save you money in travel expenses.
However, if your site, building or project is interesting, I would love to visit!
What's the number one Folkitory rule?
For Frodo!
Kindness, empathy, honesty and transparency. (There’s good in this world and it’s worth fighting for.)
I have a question!
Great! Email me and I can try answering all your questions.
FYI, my Mastermind specialist subject is Bob’s Burgers.
