About Me

Profile Type: Individual
Year Founded: 2006
Number of Employees: 1
I have several years experience in writing for the Internet, driving long term article marketing campaigns for numerous web sites.

I write all sorts of web content from Home pages to product descriptions, introductions and detailed articles. My articles and blogs on food, children and luxury goods are lively and informative and in excellent English. I contribute regularly as an Expert Author to ezinearticles.com.

My editing and proofreading skills are meticulous and all my work for the Internet is informed by my knowledge of SEO usage. I collaborate with my web developer husband on detailed SEO work.

I worked for many years in Italy gaining deep knowledge of its culture, food and wine and am fluent in Italian. I specialize in translating from Italian into English that flows well and reads naturally and enjoy working with Italian clients to adapt their websites for English-speaking markets.

A mother of three school age children, I have a wide appreciation of family related issues, a well developed sense of humour and an endless resource of memories to draw on for writing about pregnancy, baby and child related subjects.

I will work to either US or UK standard English spellings and usage according to your requirements.

Payment Terms

I prefer to work using the Elance Escrow system with milestones set according to the size of the project.

Otherwise for first-time clients, a 25% deposit is required for projects valued at over $250. For projects valued at less than $250, a 50% deposit is required.The balance is due on successful completion of the job. These conditions can be re-negotiated for regular Clients. Original Orange and the Client agree on a clear deadline at the time of commission.
