Calvin Jones’s Summary
I'm a freelance writer with a background in IT and internet systems. I specialise in results focussed business copy that engages readers and delivers tangible business benefit to my clients. I also write regularly for regional, national and international publications on subjects ranging from wildlife and the environment, through parenting to technology, the Internet and digital marketing.
I enjoy keeping things varied.
I'm currently co-authoring a non-fiction book on digital marketing, which is due for publication in Q4 2008 by London based publisher Kogan Page. My ultimate goal is to write full length fiction for a living... but that's likely to take a while.
