Biographical Note
With over 20 years experience as a freelance writer, Derek has worked in health, health promotion (Editor of the UK Health Education Authority quarterly AIDS Dialogue), world development and sales and marketing. His clients include Oxfam, The National AIDS Trust, Sales Risk Management Ltd and the University of Queensland.
Services include copywriting for sales letters, newsletter, brochures and web material.
Derek's science background (BSc Zoology) backs up his eye for technical and stylistic details. He can spot the errors that mar or destroy copy credibility. Another strength lies in transforming the verbose into tight zappy, prose - essential for conveying the message in webpages and sales literature.
Derek is also a prize-winning author of short stories and plays and brings humour and bedazz to corporate and social events - in the form of sketches, linking material and speeches.
