Helen Pickles

After working in radio (BBC Radio 4), I switched to freelance journalism for UK national newspapers and magazines, mainly feature writing. Travel is a speciality. I also developed my skills as a copywriter, both print and digital content. Projects range from annual reports and websites to online marketing and speech-writing. I edit and proof-read, too.

The feature writing led to commissions for travel guides and ghost writing for books; the radio background to voice-over work.

My style is bright, well-informed and engaging. I'm used to tight deadlines, quick turnarounds and working to brief. Equally, I can come up with ideas and strategies.

I thrive on variety. Whether it's a one-off project or regular commission, it could be just up my street. I'm as happy to polish up a simple letter as tackle a full company report or in-depth feature.
