About WordGirl

With more than 15 years’ experience in journalism and public relations, there isn’t much copy that I haven’t written, or edited. From writing and editing newspaper articles and web copy, to the creation of press releases and radio bulletins, I have the experience and wealth of knowledge to help you create copy that will make the difference.
