Portfolio


I have included links to a small cross-section of my work on this page. While it is by no means comprehensive, I hope it provides a guide as to the quality and style of my writing.

Much of my work is done on a ghostwriting (work for hire) basis, and I am unable to publicly associate myself with it after publication, hence some of the sample articles on this page have been written expressly for this purpose.

If you are interested in a particular type of sample, please contact me for more information.

I'm also able to produce screen capture videos with audio commentary for tutorial or promotional purposes. Producing release notes, help guides and other such material in video form is increasingly popular and can help you reach audiences that will not read conventional documents.

The Firing Room
"The Firing Room provide a truly First Class service to the busy publisher. They respond quickly to any requests and never fail to deliver good solid copy on time"
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!"
Alan Moore www.dracula-in-whitby.com A guide to the real Dracula story and his connection to Whitby, Yorkshire's unique vampire town.
"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."
