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 the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
