REGULAR readers of my blog may have noticed that I have been an absentee blogger for the past few weeks.
And more avid readers may realise that exactly one year ago, after a full 28 years, I bowed out of a successful career in newspaper and magazine journalism.
For much of the past 12 months I have been flexing my muscles as a freelance writer, blogger and author. I have found escape, refuge, solace and excitement in my WordPress blog, my poetry and my most recent teen novel: Poison (The Adventures of Nathan Sunnybank and Joe Greenfield). The period has also been therapeutic and cathartic as I recovered from the breakdown of last June and dealt with some crippling life demons. I have been supported by my gorgeous wife Gill, my youngest son Nathan, my mum and some very dear and life-long friends – you know who you are!
So now I have reached the new tomorrow.
Today I am launching my new company writeahead, from its base here in Shropshire. For my US and Australian friends, Shropshire is a long county bordering Wales in what is known as the English West Midlands.
My company writeahead is a completely new way forward in marketing and publishing for small and medium sized businesses and for individual clients. Drawing on my 28 years’ experience in newspaper and magazine journalism, I provide a one-stop tailor-made service to research, write, design, print and publish:
* Business cards
*Flyers
*Leaflets
*Brochures
*Menus
*Publicity material
*Press releases
*Annual Reports
*Strategies
*Programmes
*Magazines
*and much more…
I also offer a unique service to interview, research, write and publish memorial and celebratory publications for individual clients. Whether it is a one-off eulogy in the local press for a departed loved one, a fuller memorial for a funeral service, a This is Your Life type magazine for a 40th, 65th or 80th birthday or a full bound biography, I will meet your needs.
If you are a single person enterprise, a busy retail premises, a thriving community business or a large public or private sector organisation, writeahead will exceed your expectations.
Please check out my website now at: http://www.writeahead.co.uk
If I can help you or your business in any way please feel welcome to email me (nicoutterside@writeahead.co.uk) or message through WordPress for a chat.
This is tomorrow!
