BioGRAPHY
Freelance copywriter, editor and proofreader... and more!
I am Ewa, a writer, editor, marketing communication and PR professional. I have been working within this area of expertise for many years (mumble… over 30…) across a wide variety of industries giving you a wealth of expertise, skills and enthusiasm. I am a native English speaker, with fluency in Polish, French, Italian and Spanish (of varying levels). I currently live in France, born to Polish parents in England, and frequently travel to Spain and Italy. Some would say this makes for a chaotic mind - I disagree and use my background as my strength!
Industry experience includes professional services, education, motorsport, retail, art and craft, publishing, food and drink, homes and interiors, manufacturing, healthcare, social housing, training, technology and IT – B2B and B2C.
