LAUREN RICCARDI
Freelance writer, based in Sydney.
A talented writer with experience in copywriting and editorial coordination, and the ability to work effectively under pressure. Constantly seeking opportunities to demonstrate my abilities and further develop as a writer.
ABOUT
I have a passion for using the written word to tell stories that inspire, educate, and speak the truth. I have a flair for lifestyle and feature writing, with a novel in the works. Watch this space.
​
I have developed a keen eye for detail, with editorial and copywriting experience at Original Ballers, Haimat Digital, Large Almond Latte Media, The Gawler Cancer Foundation, and Hidden City Secrets.
Being meticulous was extremely necessary when producing content for the websites, particularly for The Gawler Cancer Foundation's in-house magazine, 'Living Well'. The magazine has been an opportunity for me to take the lead and produce a seamless issue that encompasses the foundation's vision. It is through these roles that my copywriting and editorial coordination skills have excelled.​
