About Fly the Kite Communications
Fly the Kite Communications is led by Liz Quarterman. In addition to being an experienced copywriter, with a passion for helping small businesses, she is an accomplished editor with nearly 25 years’ experience working for top international publishers.
After gaining a degree in English, Liz worked in sales and marketing for several London book publishing companies, before leaving to become self-employed nearly 20 years ago. She started as a full-time freelance proofreader, soon adding copyediting and then on-screen editing skills. Initially working on books, mainly in the business, management, HR, training and careers fields, and on whole series of psychology textbooks, she also worked on publicity materials such as catalogues and brochures for training companies and other businesses and organisations. After a few years she also began working on a wide range of academic journal titles in the areas of psychology and the social sciences. An interest in business consequently developed over the years.
Building on this experience, Liz set up a copywriting service for business – Fly the Kite Communications. This service involves writing the content for leaflets, websites etc., to help new and small businesses target their promotional materials effectively. Publications and sales & marketing departments of larger organisations, as well as website designers, also use our services. Fly the Kite Communications can also act as a consultancy, managing the printing or website development process, finding and briefing the designers, photographers, etc., on behalf of clients.
In addition to the comprehensive copywriting and copyediting skills that Liz posseses, the primarily business-oriented publications she has worked on over the years has given her an all-round knowledge of the marketing needs of small businesses. She has recently completed a series of courses run by Gloucestershire Business Link to consolidate her business knowledge. As a small business in the rural Cotswolds, she understands the needs of others who are just starting out marketing their products and services. She would like to feel she can be a part of your business, with an ongoing business relationship, supporting you as it grows.
