Colin Milroy

Introduction: I am the answer to your writing and editing needs. I create sharp, appealing copy within any setting: business, creative, online, technical, and more. I edit existing work (including my own) for clarity and efficiency. I mix well with a design team to complement the existing structure. I support my co-workers in all their textual needs. I have been a copywriter/editor for over five years. I was the lead copywriter for two years at my previous Marketing-Communications position before becoming a freelancer. I was an English teacher at DePaul University for three years before becoming a full-time writer. My previous manager said that I am "a talented copywriter and can make even the most mundane catalog item sound enticing...I highly recommend him as a writer, editor and project manager." You can verify this through my LinkedIn profile or by contacting him directly. I have many writing samples to share and additional recommendations to provide. I will satisfy every textual need by working directly or remotely with a creative team, ghostwriting, or by acting as editor.
