News Releases

One of my public relations tasks at Myvesta was to write news releases to support our efforts. Many of the news releases ended up being printed word for word in newspapers across the US, and all of the releases have inspired reporters and assisted the news media to cover our organisation in the US and UK.

Self-Help Publication

The Myvesta US website features a large amount of self-help publications on a variety of financial subjects. I wrote one and edited many of them.

• How to Sell Stuff You Don't Want
  I wrote this publication and the corresponding news release. This publication was very popular in the United States and many newspapers ran stories about it.

Web Copy

On all of the sites that the Myvesta Foundation operates I have written and/or edited all of the copy contained on the pages of the main sections of the sites. The articles sections, FAQ sections and forum sections are exceptions. Most of the copywriting I have done is small promotional blurbs scattered around the sites, with larger page sections being written by other people and edited by me.

Writing Examples

• Myvesta UK Homepage
  On this page I wrote the top introductory paragraph and the small programme descriptions in the rotating programme box. keywords, search engine optimisation, and brevity were heavily considered in the way those areas were written.
• Myvesta US Homepage
  I wrote all the short descriptions on the top of this page. Once again, keywords, search engine pptimisation, and brevity were heavily considered in the way those areas were written.
• Myvesta US Recipes
  All of the copy on the recipes section of the Myvesta US site was written by me. I also wrote the recipe for the Big Game Chili!
