CraftBook - Making Stories
Every business has a story. When their story is well told and finds its audience, it can spread and help a business grow. Their story might involve the people that make the business a special place to work and the customers that they serve. Their story might be filled with wonderful products and services, describing how they benefit the people that use them.
I can communicate complex information to a non specialist audience, which could help a business to engage more effectively with their customers. Content on the CraftBook website includes articles that I have written and information about my self-published books. Please contact me, if you are looking for a content writer to help your business grow.

This book explores some of the elements involved in starting and running such a business, including; becoming self-employed, business planning, finances, marketing, pricing, sales and growing your business online.
