Editorial freelance project portfolio
Back in the dawn of time, I did a journalism degree. I hated the degree itself (it was bloody useless – so much so, in fact, that I wrote my final year dissertation on why taking a journalism degree was completely pointless), but realised very soon that I wasn’t happy if I wasn’t writing.
As a result, I’ve done an awful lot of multimedia production, writing, and editing. I’ve selected some of the projects I’ve worked on below – Enjoy!
(This section is currently woefully out of date; I’ve done an awful lot more writing since this was last updated. Sorry! It’ll give you an idea though…)
