After promising to relax over the festive season, I found myself saying yes to a last minute batch of writing assignments. These are now in my outbox and with a sad farewell to a long term freelance client I am closing up shop for Christmas.

I will be available from January the 4th, please feel free to email details of all forthcoming projects- until then Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Last week Ryan Falconer; entrepreneurial wizard from Mediaroots and founder of digital creative agency Unleaded emailed with details of an urgent copy project. He needed a short bio written for an upcoming event. The turnaround was quick and 5 hours later we (virtually) shook hands on a job well done. He has since been in touch with additional work which I hope develops into a trusted freelance relationship.

I have been shortlisted in the Writing Category for a Golden Twits Award: a scheme that aims to celebrate the best in Twittering. I am very pleased and will be attending the ceremony on Nov 26th in Fabric, London.

I have been editing the second piece for my new column, Shoestring Inspiration in Scotcampus: Scotland’s National Student Newspaper. Remember to pick up a copy of the November issue.

The latest and new look edition of Scotcampus is available to pick-up in various locations in Glasgow and Edinburgh, it’s also available to read online www.scotcampus.com/freshers09 Look out for my editorial inside!

This week after 3 years of service I resigned from my role as Web Copywriter for Hilton E Business Services. I have enjoyed working with the company but feel it’s time for a new challenge.
From mid September I am taking up the post of Account Executive part-time with www.minedigital.co.uk and look forward to working with the company’s great client list.

I am pleased to announce an ongoing freelance contract with www.cvent.com Thanks in particular to the Destination Project Manager Sarah Larkins.
