One of the most wonderful things about being a journalist is the wide variety of articles we get to write.
One minute, you’re writing a cute story that makes readers smile, the next typing out a hard news article that sparks debate, while the next you’re crafting a 1,000-word interview that gets readers feeling all the emotions.
As a freelance journalist, with decades of experience in newspapers, magazines and PR, there is not a style of writing I haven’t worked with or a topic I’ve not written about.
I can turn my hand to news, features or opinion pieces and produce articles which fit with the relevant publication’s style.
Just recently, I’ve been commissioned to write two completely different styled articles.
One, for The i Paper, involved me carrying out an emotional interview with a grandmother whose grandchildren have grown-up abroad and what that experience has been like for her.
I produced a 1,200-word article, ghost written by me to appear as though the subject was speaking to the audience directly…
