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 taking the leap into 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, 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,
