Neil Sheppard

Editor and copywriter

I’m a copywriter and editor with 15 years’ experience and a qualification in proofreading.

Starting out as a journalist and magazine editor, I then moved into marketing copywriting before gaining experience in ITSM knowledge management and communications. Along the way, I’ve worked on social media, SEO, email marketing, PR, internal comms, and user experience design.

I always welcome paid freelance projects and, while I’m currently employed, I may be open to new permanent roles in the future.
