Writing services - do you need a writer?
Hey whānau, I'm Mike. I’m a wordsmith and Digital Storyteller.
I have just been made redundant from my job with an Aussie software company and I'd love to help you with your writing/website/communications needs over summer for work.
So, I'm Whangarei-based and available to meet in person.
My expertise is in digital wordsmithery- so, how I could potentially be useful to you is:
· Writing articles good enough to get into reputable news publications
· Getting your business stories into the news (pitching stories)
· Communications (Public relations)
· Marketing emails, writing scripts for your videos, blogging, SEO and keywording
· Writing biography material, writing your family stories or capturing your personality in words
· Collecting testimonials from your customers (handling those awkward cringe phone calls with clients)
· Aaand publishing all of the above on your CMS / website/ mailouts / social media platforms.
I’m really looking for ongoing work where possible so that I can get deeply invested in your story.
Many thanks for letting me post and please flick me a message if you feel I could help you with some work.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.6% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below
