Bylined article writer

Whether it's for conventional media or your online content strategy, you understand the importance of writing and publishing good articles – they're a great way to establish your thought leadership, engage human website visitors and delight search engines such as Google.

Unfortunately, as you may have discovered if you've ever tried writing for the web or writing a magazine article, researching and writing intelligent articles takes time, concentration and specialist skills. It isn't everyone's thing.

That's where my professional services come into play. You brief me, then I do the research and writing – while you get on with whatever it is that you do best for your organisation. Then you take all the credit for an article that's by-lined by you or one of your team.

More on hiring a bylined article writer

So, what kind of bylined article will I write for you? A company profile, a think-piece, a customer success story, an industry commentary? This isn't the time to appoint the so-called 'copy mills' or a free online article writer. Believe me, if you pay only a few pounds for your article, don't expect much in return. There's a big difference between cheap, poorly written content and a quality, properly researched and written article.

When you are hiring a bylined-article writer you need to be sure that your chosen writing partner has the skills and experience required of the task. After all, your name will appear at the end of the article they create (the 'by-line).

What to look for in your bylined article writer

With the reputation of your organisation and your brand (and you personally) at stake, you'll be looking for the following in your chosen article writer:

• Experience in PR writing
• Proven article-writing skills (and sample articles)
• Breadth and depth of industry knowledge
• Curiosity and research skills
• An established writer who won't let you down

Here's how I meet these requirements

Before going freelance in 2006, I wrote for a PR agency, a highly-rated technical publications business and a variety of other organisations. I've written and managed promotional writing from both sides of the business fence – agency and in-house.

A large portfolio

Naturally, I can show you plenty of those all important article writing samples. My portfolio is packed with examples of my writing across a wide range of markets, industries, different-sized organisations and writing styles. From think-pieces and client case studies to blog post articles and online articles, I offer proven ability to deliver well-researched and written bylined pieces. And if required, I also do article rewriting and repurposing when you want to get more mileage out of an existing article.

Broad experience

Industry experience? My experience extends from construction, automotive and aviation through to health and beauty, professional services and the design industry. If I can't (or don't want to) write about your sector I'll tell you up front – I may even be able to suggest an alternative writer. That said, there's not much I won't turn my hand to – the tobacco industry, gambling and hard-core adult content are about the only topics I won't touch.

Research skills

Ever since working in technical sales and market analysis, I've had to deploy my research skills. Now, as a freelance writer, that gives me the skills to quickly get under the skin of your market with desk research and interviews before crafting your article.

A hard-won reputation to protect

As a freelance writer, I'm only as good as my last successful project. After more than eight years freelancing, I have an excellent reputation. If I say I'll do something I do it. And I always meet my deadlines.
