about

Meet Deanna

I’m a freelance writer and content creator who lives in north west England. I write about lifestyle and human-interest stories, but as a former chef and deli owner, I love to write about food and restaurants the most.

I cover news/opinion features, interviews, reviews, round ups and travel features. My articles have been published on The Confidentials, Great British Life, Lancashire Life, I Love Manchester, Taste of Manchester and About Manchester.

 I also write website copy and press releases for busy PRs so they can get stuck into the business of selling in.

I’m comfortable presenting on video, television, speaking to a live audience, and hosting chef demo kitchens. You’ll find me at Manchester Food & Drink Festival, Festa Italia and Northern Restaurant and Bar Show chatting to well-known chefs and personalities.

 If you’d like to discuss a commission or copywriting opportunities, please get in touch.

What can I do for you?


Writing

Publications - I can write engaging features and articles, both online and in print. I’ve interviewed a wide range of people from famous pop stars and celebrity chefs to local business owners and even a lady who runs a pet talent agency. I’m always interested in hearing about new commissions.

Press releases - Good PRs are great at creating activations and getting coverage, but many prefer to hire a copy writer like me to craft brilliant words for their clients. I’m available for regular or ad hoc opportunities.

I also have experience writing sponsored content, newsletters and website copy.

Content Creation

I can tell a good story, but these days it takes more than words to engage an audience. I have experience filming and editing instagram reels and TikTok videos along with multi-channel social media posts using a content appropriate tone of voice.

Presenting

I am a confident presenter who has appeared on live television, on local radio, in a podcast, on social media and in front of a live audience.

I am an experienced host and have chaired panel debates, introduced events and managed chef demo stages and live events.
