About me

Everything in writing begins with language. Language begins with listening.

 

— Jeanette Winterson

Hello. I'm Nikola, a freelance writer based in London and passionate about language and books. 
My 25 years as a teacher means I love to listen to, read and talk about stories.
I'm skilled in communication and project management.
I handle deadlines and multiple tasks with ease and I rise to a challenge.

Let me help you to communicate with clarity and confidence.
Let me meticulously take care of the attention to detail.
Let me take a look at what you do and help you make it better.
Let me listen carefully to and think creatively about your ideas and concepts. 
Let me capture the right tone of voice to breathe life into your brand.
If you like the sound of my approach, then please get in touch.
