Mark Smith

I'm a freelance journalist, writer, marketing content writer and copywriter based in Liverpool, England.

Following a career in newspapers and digital journalism I moved into SEO copywriting in the commercial sector and now continue to enjoy wearing both hats as a specialist freelance technology and business journalist and marketing content writer. Publications have included The Guardian, BBC, Daily Mirror, Telegraph and Forbes, as well as magazines around the world, from Total Film, T3, Popular Mechanics, .Net and Gadget to Southeast Asia Globe, 3D Artist and History Today. I have also written commercial copy for companies such as Regus, RBS, Emirates Airlines, BMW, Booking.com, Very and Alibaba.

I'm currently working on my first published book which is due for release next spring.

I'm a member of the British Association of Journalists, the Society of Authors and Pro Copywriters - the Alliance of Commercial Writers. Feel free to drop me a line to see how we can work together.
