Hazel Davis
I’m Hazel Davis, a freelance journalist, copywriter and media comms person based somewhere in the beautiful Pennines. I contribute to a number of publications including the Financial Times, Guardian, Telegraph, Times and plenty of the women’s “glossies”, in-flight magazines, the varied and interesting trade press (oh you’d be quite surprised at some of the titles on my CV) and many more. Until it moved to podcast format I was an assistant editor for fabulous game-changing women’s magazine Standard Issue. I co-run Muse Flash Media (training journalists and SMEs in the crafty ways of the media and running writerly events, including a lovely monthly poetry club) with the very brilliant Heidi Scrimgeour.
It may be fair to say that I will pretty much try my pen at most things. Within reason.
I am also a skilled and experienced copy editor, working regularly for a range of contract publishers and clients, including the British Council, Virgin, Clydesdale Bank, Marie Curie Cancer Care, American Express, Brother, Hewlett Packard and a host of others, large and small, in the public, private and charity sectors.
My passions are travel, comedy and music. ALL OF THE MUSIC. I play violin in a small strings ensemble, parp a trumpet and cornet from time to time. I also sing in a country-folk duo, Mustard County, (you can listen to us or look at pictures of us here or book us for your wedding).
