Word count really matters when you are writing articles for newsletters!   I have experience of writing copy for different lengths and styles of company newsletter and can therefore accurately gauge how much copy is required to fill specific columns and boxes. 

Deadlines are crucial too.  That’s why I always make sure that everyone involved, from the featured customer to the client and the designer, is focused on the same completion date.  It can take weeks to get all the necessary approvals for articles and days to review and tweak the layout, so I know the importance of completing the writing stage quickly. 

Depending on your requirements, I can either write single articles or take care of the copy for entire issues.
