NEON Weekly

Fiona — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 16:31:56 +0000

For the first time in what seems like forever, I have a regular job again. Regular, in the sense that I go to an office at a specified time one day each week, stay for a certain number of hours, leave at a specified time and that’s it for the rest of the week. No midnight skype messages, no urgent phone calls at the weekend, no emails during my holidays…

It’s quite nice for a change although I wouldn’t miss the creative chaos my other jobs bring with them for the world.

Do stop by and visit me at NEON and, if you happen to be online on a Tuesday, listen to my NEON radio slot.

Weihnachten und viel Neues im neuen Jahr

Fiona — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:27:43 +0000

Wenn sich auf diesem Blog nicht viel tut, dann ist das eigentlich etwas Gutes, denn dann habe ich so viel Arbeit, dass ich keine Zeit hab, darüber zu schreiben, ob, wann und wo ich arbeite. Im neuen Jahr kommt aber garantiert ein Update – und noch viel mehr als das!

Bis dahin wünsche ich mir ruhige Weihnachten mit ganz wenig Arbeit – und ein neues Jahr mit viel neuer, spannender Arbeit!

Amazing Bilingual Woman

Fiona — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 13:11:31 +0000

Born, bred an schooled in Germany, raised by an Irish mother and a German father, I am lucky enough to speak both the original language of the Gab, as well as the language that “sounds like typewriters eating tinfoil being kicked down a stairs“, fluently.

Read: I am a bilingual native speaker of both German and English.

Work – for Real this Time

Fiona — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:38:30 +0000

I work as a freelance journalist and copywriter, with a successful sideline of travelling to faraway places at very short notice, which leaves very little time for maintaining blogs such as this one, designed to show prospective employers my work.

If you are, however, looking for a freelancer to contribute to your magazine, website or other product containing words, take a look at my published work and references and I would be more than happy to make time for you.

I will write stuff for money.

Gabbing about Love

Fiona — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:38:06 +0000

When I started working for be2, it was but a blip on the radar of the online matchmaking market. Three years, and numerous changes of my job definition, later, be2 is the fastest-growing company in its sector and spouting success stories like they’re going out of fashion.

As online editor, I contribute all kinds of copy to the website, as well as email and online marketing, but the corporate blog has become my pet project. I get to research, write and post pretty much anything I deem of interest and relevant to our readers. Building this kind of a project from scratch with a really small, enthusiastic team, making it up as we go along, is a journalist’s dream come true. Add to that the flexible working hours and informal work style and I’ve got myself a match made in heaven.

Oh, I do all that stuff in English, too.

On the Sunny Side

Fiona — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:36:47 +0000

Sunny Systems sometimes need new onsite copy to tie in with website redesigns they provide for clients.

I provide copywriting, SEO and polishing in German and English, as well as translations.
