To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Rory Cole and I write in application to your advertised Good Writers, Content managers

& Testers position.

I am currently working as a freelance Copywriter and Content & Social Media Manager for the online

publishing company, Ripefruit Publishing (copywriting, researching, developing, reviewing, editing

and publishing content for numerous websites and managing their online social media presence).

I am a highly prolific writer with editing and proofreading experience and a Diploma of Professional

Writing and Editing, in which I received distinctions and credits in the majority of units; Writer and

Research, Computer Skills for Writers and Editors; Editing, Role of the Editor; Non-Fiction; Short

Story Writing; Screenwriting; and Novel Writing. I was the recipient of the Box Hill TAFE

Encouragement Award for Non-Fiction Writing, inclusive of honorary membership to the Australian

Fellowship of Writers.

I have completed units in a Bachelor of Professional Communication at RMIT and in a Bachelor of

Internet Communications at Curtin University, which I deferred to commence employment with

Ripefruit Publishing and self-teach and prepare to self-publish. I am currently undertaking a Bachelor

of Arts (Creative and Professional Writing) for personal development and to keep abreast of the

industry.

I am very fluent in both verbal and written English and possess excellent web research and content

skills. In all positions held thus far, great attention to and a keen eye for detail have been essential,

along with the ability to write creative and engaging content, meet client deadlines and to work well

both autonomously and within a team.

Please find attached my CV and the contact details of four referees. Should you choose to employ my

services, I am sure I will prove a valuable asset to your existing team.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Rory Cole
