Events, podcasts and press
In 20+ years as a freelance copywriter I’ve learned a lot about self-employment! As well as sharing my advice and strategies in Survival Skills for Freelancers and my monthly updates I love talking about the mindset needed for self-employed success, confidence and wellbeing in freelance events, panels, webinars and podcasts.
As author of The Little Book of Confusables and a lifelong language lover, I also deliver talks and training to help business owners and marketing teams boost their business writing brilliance.
I’ve taken part in events on both freelance life and writing with impact for organisations such as Enterprise Nation, the Content Marketing Association, the CIPR, and the Institute for Translation and Interpreting.
I’ve been quoted in Forbes, appeared on BBC Radio, and chalked up more than 65 podcast interviews – all of which you’ll find below.
Want to hear what I have to say about the reality of freelance life – or how human language helps you stand out from the crowd? Check out the podcast interviews and freelance events below. Or scroll down for press coverage.
