So, please take just 5 minutes 45 seconds (that's how long it took Anelia here in the office) to whiz through the questions below. If you really are too busy even for that, then just fill out the compulsory bits: - what work are you looking for? - your contact details - load up your latest CV (in a word document only please) - bash out a 200-word-or-so profile on your writing and professional brilliance at the bottom of this page - with a suggestion of the type of work you're looking for.

Here's an example: "I am a former print and broadcast journalist turned corporate writer. I have worked on editorial strategy with Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Bartle Bogle Hegarty, Intro, totallylegal.com and the launch of the Ford Focus for Imagination. I can work with any team helping clients identify an appropriate marketing strategy. And I can help supply the tone of voice, planning, research and words to deliver agreed results. I will also make tea and coffee. I like Marmite." Please don't agonise over this bit, it won't go to clients. It just gives us a clearer idea of your background and the type of work you're up for.                I've previously submitted my details.
