Hello.

Looking for professional and affordable copywriting, copy editing, proof reading or writing training services?

Tiffany Markman is a freelance copywriter, business writer, editor, proofreader and writing trainer who could think of absolutely nothing better than handling the writing requirements that plague your busy day. She loves that stuff.

Services

During the last 10 years, Tiffany Markman’s freelance business has handled copywriting, copy editing, proofing and corporate training projects for 180 clients in South Africa and abroad. The company is based in Hyde Park, Sandton, Johannesburg – but Tiffany travels. She even has regular international clients in interesting places like the United States, London, Sydney, Dubai, India, Mauritius, Botswana, Tanzania and the Seychelles.

Clients

Tiffany’s worked for small start-ups, medium-sized businesses, NGOs and multinationals, and she’s gained experience in diverse industries that include travel and tourism, retail, corporate services, banking, construction, education and publishing. Interested in hearing what Tiffany’s writing, editing or training clients have to say?

Media

From web copy, corporate newsletters, company profiles and brochures; through ad campaigns (BTL, ATL or TTL), presentations, scripts and speeches; to social media strategies, marketing material and other media, Tiffany is ready to handle any project – as long as there are words involved. And she’s a specialist in using search engine optimization (SEO) writing techniques and tools to optimise clients’ website content. This is a big part of her work.

Training

What’s more, Tiffany offers a corporate training service. She’ll come to your office – wherever it is – and run an in-house writing workshop on any writing-related topic, from brushing up on grammar to high-end business writing. All of Tiffany’s training courses, seminars, workshops and presentations are hands-on, interactive and customised to suit your company’s writing style or requirements. They can also be run online for individuals.

The proof

A proud EMPOWERDEX-certified EME since 2008 (Level 4), Tiffany is also a full member (and Exco member) of the Southern African Freelancers’ Association (Safrea) and the Professional Editors’ Group (PEG), and a regular monthly contributor to leading content portals Bizcommunity, Marketingweb and Freelancentral.

The cost

Outsourcing your copy writing or editing is cheaper than most professional services, especially when a freelancer is involved. And in Tiffany’s case, she loves what she does, so she has no interest in bleeding you dry or in forcing you to commit to huge monthly retainers. You pay for what you need. You call her when you need her.

Also, Tiffany’s an experienced copywriter and editor, so she prides herself on work that is both intelligent and tidy. This means no double-checking, additional proofreading or extra editing costs for you. The job’s done once.
