I went freelance in June! So far I have worked as a sub-editor on Men's Health and GQ Style magazines, written SEO product copy for Dove Men+Care, started some tone of voice work for the Royal Voluntary Service and have just written a couple of scripts for O2's Gurus films. Get in touch about your project – I'm excited about it already.
