I have worked in the media and communications field for almost 20 years. My areas of expertise encompass media and PR related assistance, all facets of publishing − from conceptual design, writing, and overseeing of design and printing (from inception to finished product) − and finally, editing and proofreading. 

I have a proven track record in publishing, from small scale marketing materials to academic texts. 

In an increasingly competitive market, effective PR can make a huge difference to a small business. Whether you have a limited budget or a more generous one, a few carefully planned media strategies can reap rewards. I have a team of talented designers and reasonably priced printers on-call, or am happy to work with your design/printing team.
