Sue welcomes commissions for magazine and newspaper articles, travel yearbooks, travel guides and guidebook updates, PR material and web copy assignments. She also writes audio scripts for web-site downloads and a wide variety of ESOL texts for publication in Asia.
Writing is her passion - whether it is travel writing, boating or sea stories, architecture and art, cuisine, indigenous and exotic culture or guidebook work. Her experience in all these fields means she provides a well-written, thoroughly researched article or piece that meets the required guidelines. Her writing can be either tightly focused on a single angle or, like a wide-angled photo, full of colour and example. She can provide high quality images (both digital and slide) with her articles.
With regular articles and pieces appearing in over 80 publications and websites around the world her portfolio is of a high quality and well read.
