Colin Ward: Writer
Creative, Copywriting & Consultancy
About Me
I love writing. I hate writing about me. So that makes this page a bit of an interesting mix of passionate self-promotion and bitter resentment, all rolled into one. I could say I am truly fantastic, utterly brilliant, amazingly talented and...well, actually now I have said it, we'll leave that in.
​
Currently I am embarking on the first steps of an exciting new career path with a professional copy writing contract with a developing company that has many campaigns. Having started off rewriting copy for one of their big websites, it's been a challenge learning the subject matter, but it is a lot of fun. Definitely a great job and company to work for and looking forward to the next challenge thrown at me.
​
Below you'll find a wide range of all the other kinds of work I have done, and continue to do, including some of the images and graphics I design (are they called "memes" or something?).
Many Hats, Many Heads, Many Minds
