The Humble Quill

SERVICES
Copywriting:
As a professionally trained copywriter, I create engaging and persuasive content tailored to your company's voice and messages. Whether it's website copy, blog posts or advertising and marketing materials, I make sure the words and feel resonate with your target audience and drive results. I have created marketing campaigns for PureBaby, CFA, VIC Police and more all that have driven significant results that are still showing long after I left. I helped create the platform, research and blog style advertisement posts for ParentalEQ, an app to help parents teach their children emotional intelligence while also getting the mental support they needed. I also created long-term advertising materials for MEGT, Australia’s largest single Apprentice Connect Provider and a register GTO who helps apprentices, trainees and employers find each other. Alongside campaigns, social media posts and website content, I also helped create their first ever RMS Ambassador through an ongoing campaign showcasing people living with a disability and how MEGT has helped them succeed in the workplace.
Editing:
From development/structural editing to a final proofread, I double check that your writing is polished, coherent and exactly how you envisioned - all while keeping your tone, voice and style. I have edited over 200 books in my career ranging from bestselling fantasy novels to impactful children's books to memoirs and everything in-between. There isn't a book I won't try and as a published author myself, I understand how much you put your heart and soul into your novel. I promise to only do it justice and give it the respect and honour it deserves while staying true to your tone, voice, message and budget.
