All the Fun of the Fair
Fairs have been a part of society since Medieval times. Caroline Roope takes us on a spin through their history.
I'm a freelance copywriter and creative blogger based in the UK. I've worked in a variety of industries, from the arts, heritage and charitable sector to education, online marketing and web development. This has given me a sound background in writing for a variety of different audiences across a broad spectrum of clients.
My previous roles have allowed me to gain experience in a number of areas - from script writing, web content, interpretive design and content writing for the heritage sector, social media marketing and lifestyle journalism for a family audience.
I am a published academic and feature in the International Journal of Intangible Heritage.
I have extensive experience in creative copy writing but my marketing background allows me to give my work a commercial edge.
I am currently the Managing Editor of a regional magazine targeted at the family market.
I always meet deadlines, work hard and write with precision. I always complete my work to an extremely high standard.

I have 10 years experience in the heritage and museums sector, so I was thrilled to put it to use for Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine. I was commissioned to write a feature on the history of pleasure boating titled 'Life is but a dream...' for the Summer 2018 issue (released July 2018). I have another feature out in their Christmas 2018 issue.
