Mandy Freeman

Writer, editor and photographer

About me

I have more than 15 years of experience working in print and digital media as a copy editor, writer and editor. I love meeting people, finding out who they are and then telling their stories. Words make me happy and I have years of experience working on medical and financial content – and pretty much anything in between. The highlight of my writing career is ongoing, as I’m constantly being pushed to learn more.

I also have a keen interest in photography because it allows me to explore a different kind of creativity. Photography is something magical – it gives me the opportunity to paint with light and is always pushing me in new directions. Candid, unposed photos are my favourite to shoot. We’re all a bit self-conscious when we see a camera, but it’s those stolen moments that I love to capture.

I love telling stories – either through photos or words.

Brands I've worked with

Throughout my career as a full-time and freelance writer, I’ve worked with some of South Africa’s leading brands. These include well-known names in the financial, health and lifestyle sectors.
