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.

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.
This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.
When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.
Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.
No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.
