VICTORIA JANE SMITH
JOURNALIST & COPYWRITER
ABOUT
I am a competent, creative and enthusiastic freelance journalist and copywriter with 17 years' experience in both print and online.
From hedge funds to hangovers, Mayfair to Malaysia, and superyachts to snow polo, I have written on a huge array of subjects for a wide variety of publications and clients in the travel, hospitality and property sectors.
JOURNALISM
I spent five years editing two luxury lifestyle magazines before switching to freelance life in 2015. Since then, I’ve written for national newspapers, magazines, websites and B2B clients.
I write long-form features, short-form copy, headlines, standfirsts, interviews, reviews, columns, listings, opinion pieces and pretty much anything else that goes in a magazine or newspaper. I also have significant experience editing, sub-editing, proofing and commissioning, and I know my way around InDesign too.
Recent bylines include GQ Style, Metro newspaper, Grand Designs Magazine, Square Mile, The Resident, Foodism, Hedge, Escapism, Luxury London, and Wedding.
If you need words, I can write them for you.
COPYWRITING
I create a variety of content for clients in the interiors, travel, food and drink, and fashion sectors.
This includes writing websites from scratch, blogs, newsletters, e-learning scripts, printed marketing material, product descriptions and social media copy. I can also work with you to establish your brand's tone of voice and help you carry this through all of your outward-facing comms.
Current clients: Bert & May, Rhapsody Media, Tonic Communications, Pickett London, Casa La Siesta,
