I am a 42 year old freelance writer from Zimbabwe. I have excellent writing and communication skills. I have a BA Honours degree in History and Sociology and a PostGraduate Certificate in Education, both from the University of London.
I was history teacher for 12 years and then spent three years as a lecturer in computer software. My students showed a high degree of comprehension and my exam pass rate was always extremely high.
In the past five years I was sub editor and then chief sub editor at a local weekly newspaper, The Standard. My editing skills were extremely high thus the promotion.
I was responsible for the entire layout, look and English use in the paper. I ensured each story was strong, to the point and interesting, resulting in high praise from the readers and indirect rise in sales. I am well-read and am conversant with a variety of disciplines and my computer and Internet skills are extremely advanced. I also wrote human interest which were equally well-received by the public. I am fast and efficient and excellent at meeting deadlines.
I am presently a freelance writer, writing thought provoking and mature stories I also write speeches and content for brochures and as a copywriter, I use language which captivates.
