As a web designer and writer with years of computer programming experience, I have done a lot of web content writing, editing, and proofreading for small businesses, mainly in the hospitality, leisure, travel, and retail fields. I also write regular web columns on coffee and beer, and I have written a novel and published several articles online.
Before I started designing websites I designed and edited catalogues and promotional materials for a mail-order company which specialised in tapes and books for psychologists. I also wrote and edited an in-house employee newsletter when I worked in aerospace.
I have excellent grammar and spelling skills and I am a very fast and accurate typist. As an American who lives in England, I am fluent in both American and British English, and I can customise manuscripts, advertising materials, and web content for a British, American, or generic English-speaking audience.
