BECKETT, RACHEL

Freelance Copywriter

Creative writer, editor and illustrator. Interests and experience include illustrated fiction, non-fiction and commercial and technical publications. Commercial projects have included quality assurance, business consultancy, engineering, transport and mathematics education. Other areas of expertise include creative illustration, writing short fiction and design.
The key word is versatility: I have written a book on Medieval Art and have edited numerous non-fiction and reference books; also a user manual for a biodiesel reactor and a winning bid for a rail franchise.
I have illustrated a children's humorous verse story and published illustrated books for adults. I am currently working as a Multimedia Editor in quality assurance (higher education). Whatever your project, I can ensure that it is expressed in cogent, readable English.
