JAYNE HOWARTH
Freelance Journalist
I am a versatile and efficient journalist, with vast experience in writing for printed media and web.
As well as 15 years’ newspaper experience under my belt, I have project management and managerial expertise, having had responsibility for a large proportion of content for a weekly magazine.
I thrive under pressure, work well when faced with tight deadlines and always produce a high standard of written work that is well-researched and grammatically correct.
I work as well within a team as on my own and have the discipline to plan projects effectively.
As well as news and feature writing experience in newspapers and magazines, I have undertaken news writing for business and health news websites; public relations work for a national children's literacy charity; B2B news editing; proofreading/editing for publishing companies; copy editing and writing for a university; bid writing/editing for a national construction company; extensive writing projects for a prestigious city council award scheme; and led classroom sessions on journalism as part of a Midland scheme to promote literacy and writing within schools.
Adaptable and versatile, I can pretty much turn my hand to any style of writing on a myriad subjects. I have particular expertise in children's literature and travel writing.
