- Gallery Write-ups

Why I Wrote What I Wrote:

Client requested for brief descriptions about each of their recent interior design and fitting commercial projects, providing site photos as reference. While the copy was kept short and concise, descriptions were comprehensive in encompassing highlighted aspects of each project. 

The sales script was a brief guide to help staff communicate the company's style and quality of work, including attitudes and belief system, while the company taglines were written around the general impression that the company wishes to project to their clientele.

Scholastic Singapore

Date: January - February 2013

Client:
Scholastic Singapore

Job:

Curriculum Writing:

- Write Better Grade 4
- Grammar Grade 2

Why I Wrote What I Wrote:

Was approached this time to fill in activities for the writing series meant for advanced students who want to write better and more creatively. The activities focus on honing students' skills in elaborating or being succinct as necessary, and their ability to use language better.

Upon completion of first project in January, I was offered a choice of two other projects, both of which focussing on improving students' grasp of grammar. As I would be taking a short break over the Lunar New Year, I opted for the one with the tighter deadline. Still feels good knowing I am contributing towards things that really help kids with the English Language.

Job:

Copyediting:

- iPhone Press Release (iCallU)

Why I Wrote What I Wrote: As I was leaving on a short break, client emailed me the night before to ask for a proofread/ edit of his press release. Styled text to fit local press release tone and quickly emailed over. Found out later on that it was actually meant for US market hence localised version was not used. Well, at least I have attained a new record for express turnaround ;)

Scholastic Singapore

Date: July - September 2012

Client:
Scholastic Singapore

Job:

Curriculum Writing - Writing Skills Builder Series:

- Grade 3 Learners
- Grade 4 Learners
- Grade 5 Learners

Why I Wrote What I Wrote:

Recommended by a friend working in said company to his colleague who was looking for a content writer for the above educational publications. After submission of content samples, I was asked to add on to the content for the Grade 3 and Grade 4 publications in July and August respectively. Upon completion of which, I was working on Grade 5 content, with a rather tight deadline.

This project requires me to tap on my experience from my day job and I rather enjoy creating content that I know will benefit learners of the English Language directly. (After all, students who make good with the language will be able to appreciate the language better as grown-ups, and that will really be good news for writers who take their work seriously.)
