WHY YOU NEED ME

Why Having a Writer or an Editor Can Save You Money

You’re a visionary small-to-medium business owner who needs help with blogging, content creation, journalism, copy, editing or any kind of word situation. You want help to make yourself sound as incredible as you are. You want that content to be genuine, authentic, unique and for it to connect with the people who need you. You have come to the right place!

You might not have the time to write a lengthy report or to create course content from scratch. Sometimes, editing a document or a manuscript can take hours and we all miss our own mistakes. It’s my pleasure to dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s for you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been a Storyteller. I would love also to weave your words into a cohesive and intriguing narrative that builds a true connection with your potential or existing customers the moment they engage with you.

As an award-winning writer and language expert based in the sunny Bay of Plenty in Aotearoa New Zealand, I welcome your writing and editing challenges.

To see if we can work well together, and to make sure our timing aligns, email me to book in your your free discovery call. From there, I will put together a proposal we are both happy with.

“I have used Anna’s services for The Star Alfriston website. She is accurate, timely and has an ear for our own house style. She has skills which are sorely needed in an age of grammatical carelessness and inability to punctuate and spell!”

About Me

Anna Killick portrait

I’m Anna, I love living with my husband, Andrew, and my Chihuahua, Timmy, in a little seaside community in the Bay.

Living with a chronic illness has not stopped me from doing the things I love; writing (poetry especially), reading, listening to music, being creative, watching as many British crime series over as many platforms as possible, hanging with good friends and hearing the sound of rain on the roof.

I collect tea, antique tea cups, Agatha Christie first editions and costume jewellery. Welcome to my quirky world!
