What does a professional writing service include?

You’ll find there is a huge range of writing services you can request and many writers are experienced in writing for multiple mediums. If it has words, there’ll be someone who can help you write it. Here are some of the most commonly requested freelance writing services and what you can expect:

Copywriting

Copywriters know how to find the right words to communicate a message to your customers and make them take action. They can write anything from sales copy and marketing emails to technical writing, press releases, and website content. They’ll discuss your brand tone of voice and key messages you need to be included in the content and will prepare the first draft. Many copywriters offer 2-3 revisions so you can provide feedback and changes. After they’ve made the updates, you’ll receive a final version that’s exactly what you need.

Content writing & articles

Quality content on your website and social media will provide value to your customers, build trust, and position your brand as an authority. Content creation can be time-consuming, but fortunately, you don’t have to create all your content yourself. Your content writer can help with blog articles, newsletters, social media posts and any other forms of writing that provide information (or even entertainment) to your customers. They may start with your written brief or transcription, or interview a source for a journalistic style article. Once your content writer has created a draft, you’ll get the chance to provide feedback and request changes before they produce the final version, ready for publishing.

CVs and selection criteria

Need a resume writer? Getting your resume written professionally will help you make a good first impression on recruiters and showcase your best skills to get you an interview. Your writer will discuss your work history and experience to write and format a CV and cover letter with all the most important information. Many freelance writers can also help with selection criteria services, and have industry experience so they know how these need to be written to get attention. It’s also a good idea to ask your writer to update your LinkedIn profile so it matches your job search communication and presents your best features to a prospective employer.

Academic writing

Need a formal report written for your organisation or help with a piece of academic writing? You can find an experienced academic writer to help. Most academic writers are either current uni students, postgrads, or even lecturers with exceptional writing skills and experience in these formats. Academic writing is usually heavy on research and the tone is more formal to convey credibility. Your academic writer can help you go through criteria to make sure your assignment is on track, proofread to look for obvious issues with the structure and spelling/grammar, help with cleaning up your references, and other tasks to help improve your work.
