Writing services - do you need a writer?
Hey whānau, I'm Mike. I’m a wordsmith and Digital Storyteller.
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.

Civic Honour Awards 2024
Congratulations to Jenni Moore, Marilyn Cox, Don McDonald-Spice, and Dr George Perera; the 4 recipients of our 2024 Civic Honour Awards. A Civic Honour is the highest award we can bestow, recognising outstanding voluntary service to the community.
🏅🏅🏅🏅
Between them Dr Perera, Marilyn, Don and Jenni have served the widest needs of diverse communities - medical, social, cultural, artistic, environmental and much more. They have shown a deep understanding of people, issues, and the enormous relief and sometimes joy, that a helping hand can provide. Each is an example of the best each of us can offer to the community in our lifetime. It is a privilege to give the recognition they deserve, and we'll be telling you more about each of their stories in the coming weeks.
Do you know someone else who deserves this recognition? Nominations are now open for next year's ceremony, and must be made by 1 May 2025: www.wdc.govt.nz...
