The Firing Room - Professional Writing Services


I'm a published, professional freelance writer - I stake my reputation and my income on my writing - every day. Whether you need online copywriting, a feature-length magazine article, SEO content or something else altogether, I can help.

Joined-Up Writing

Although writing is a specialized skill, it doesn't exist in isolation - whether it's search engine optimization, improving conversions or filling an awkward-sized space in a magazine, every type of freelance writing has a context, a purpose - a business - behind it.

That's where joined-up writing comes in.

Of course I'll provide you with high quality and well-researched writing - that's a starting point. What I can also offer is the experience needed to understand your underlying needs:

  • What your business model is
  • Why you need my writing
  • How you'll use my writing
  • What you need from me.

After all, what kind of writer do you want? Someone who needs to be spoon-fed and can't be trusted to deliver on time, or someone who will deliver high quality work, on time and to budget, without needing excessive direction? Someone who takes your business seriously and wants it to succeed.

I can give you these benefits, and combine them with original, well-researched and compelling writing - whatever its purpose:

  • Feature articles, Reports, White Papers and Ebooks - in-depth, high-quality writing, aimed squarely at readers and designed to form the backbone of your content site, the basis of a promotional campaign, or be suitable for offline publishing - under your name or mine.
  • Online Copywriting - whether it's for your corporate website or a direct sales letter, I understand how to write copy that will convert visitors into leads.
  • SEO Content - guaranteed original, well-written and keyword-optimised content that will build your site's rankings.
  • Press Releases, FAQ pages, user manuals and more - just ask.

My experience is as varied as it is useful, giving me a rich set of resources to draw on and enabling me to adapt quickly and efficiently to new challenges.

Here's a breakdown of the background knowledge and experience I bring to my writing:

  • Commercial pre-press and publishing experience (business directories)
  • Online marketing experience (my own online businesses)
  • Large-scale IT experience in a corporate environment (global telecommunications company)
  • Sales experience (antiques dealer)
  • Customer service experience (show me a job where this is not important!)

As well as all that, I have a Masters degree, and have lived, worked and travelled in much of Europe and Asia.

All this experience - combined with great writing skills - is the reason I can offer you joined-up writing - professional writing that truly adds value to your business.

If you think I might be able to help you, then get in touch now to explore the possibilities - whether you have a detailed specification or just a vague idea, a large project or a small one, I'd love to try and help you move forwards.

Edward Parry www.MoneySorter.co.uk - The Easy Guide to UK Personal Finance
"We needed our entire website and parts of our magazine to be rewritten, the work Roland did was fantastic and it is the first time I have ever had literally no amendment's to make to a copywriters work and it was delivered three days ahead of deadline. Will be employing Roland's services again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend"
Scott Kennedy www.satachitrade.com
"I had a vague idea about creating an eBook which could be sold from my tourist website. Roland quickly created a structure for the book, wrote it AND provided top quality photographs. No revisions were needed and the quality of the work was excellent. Communications were slick and the final product was delivered bang on time. I shall be using the Firing Room again to create some articles that I need writing. Thoroughly recommended!"

"I wanted to contact you directly to say Thanks for working on this project, and especially for doing the research that enabled you to understand what the subject matter was. This with your technical background and your professional writing skills allowed you to deliver a fitting draft of the sales copy that will fit right into the customers that I am looking for. A targeted market needs this type of writing skills to convert them the first time, because they are not coming back. This copy will convince them that I will do a great job for them. Thanks again for a great job."
