As well as tending the World of Steff Metal and dragging my husband’s drumkit from gig to gig, I work as a freelance writer and small business marketing copywriter.

As a freelance writer, I’ve penned articles for national and international magazines and newsletters in New Zealand and abroad. I write what I love: music, attitude, travel, food, fashion, writing, art, life. You can read some of my latest articles online in the Publications section.  Head over to the Contact page if you have a project for me!

So if you’ve got a writing project you’d love me to work on, get in touch!

Small Business Copywriting

Copywriters produce marketing materials – website copy, brochures, blog posts, product descriptions – for business owners who haven’t quite got the writing “knack”. As a copywriter, I’ve written blogs for dentists, online catelogues for jewelry designers, articles for baby products, newsletters for gothic clothing companies … and more press releases than Glen Benton has assault charges.

I love producing ad, product, web and catelogue copy for small business and non-profits. I can also produce web copy and documents in accessible formats for low-vision readers. If you have a document that needs to be put into braille for blind readers? I can do that, too. (uncontracted and UEB only)

I love to work with alternative businesses, artists and artisans to support our thriving subculture. I am happy to work trades and love seeing small businesses suceed!

If your writing project needs the Steff Metal touch, contact me! I’m always looking for fun, exciting new projects.

Etsy Shop Promotion Packages

Etsy sellers are a unique breed. Lovers of handmade soaps and punk rock lunch sacks, indie clothing and vintage collages, the backyard jewellery studios and living-room sweatshops define the women and men who love to create unique crafted art.

All the top sellers have one thing in common: every page of their shop contains compelling writing that grabs the customer and screams ‘pick me! I’m just what you wanted all along!’

Copy like that isn’t easy to write. I’m here to help. I’m a professional copywriter – writing to sell is what I do. I can take you Etsy shop marketing copy and transform it into the prose of a top seller. See the Steff Metal Shop for my Etsy copywriting packages.

Editing

I’d pull apart your document, website, publication, album jacket, etc, and point out your spelling, grammar, and readability foibles. I know you’ll appreciate it.

Guarantee

I pride myself in producing first-class writing and I offer a satisfaction guarantee. Each writing package or project includes one ‘do over’. If you aren’t satisfied with your first copy proof, I will work with you to produce a second proof that better satisfies your needs. Proofs beyond this ‘do over’ incur additional fees.
