Summary

I'm a seasoned and well travelled writer who has recently emerged blinking into the daylight after 14 years in wildlife and science TV. I've written everything from travel guides and hotel reviews to scripts on the cosmology of the Big Bang and 200 page treatments on the history and culture of Brazil.

I have a degree in zoology, so I can be serious and scientific to order, but my brain is also seething with information about books, foreign parts (particularly Africa), films, food, photography, TV, taxidermy, music and the etymology of the word 'gusset'. I'm also a pitiless proofreader and editor of other people's work.

About Me

Profile Type: Individual
Year Founded: 2008
Number of Employees: 1
I'm a freelance writer trying out Elance for the first time. I'm a voracious reader of fiction of all types and vintages, an obsessive film goer, and a gourmet/gourmand. My academic background is primarily scientific, which greatly broadens the scope of my writing. I'm also a seasoned traveller, keen to spend as much time as possible exploring, and then writing about it. I've travelled widely in Africa and Europe, and have no plans to stop. In other words, I've seen a lot, done a lot, and eaten a lot, and all this adds value to my writing.

Thanks to my career in TV production, I'm used to learning about a subject extremely quickly through diligent research, and turning out word perfect copy in a very short time. I've also had plenty of practice dealing with the differences between UK and US English.

Will write for money. No job too crazy, no deadline too tight.

Payment Terms

Payment terms vary with each project and are negotiable.

Elance Escrow is my preferred option for most projects, with longer projects structured with partial-payment milestones.

Turnaround times will vary with project length, complexity of work, and buyer's needs.
