Editorial
With considerable experience freelancing and as a staff writer for a wide variety of international publications, Alison’s editorial experience stretches from luxury glossy magazines to local newspapers. Here are some examples of her long and short printed copy.
Long Copy
Here are some examples of Alison’s longer copy, from her days as a freelance luxury travel experience writer for Singapore’s ultra glossy Prestige Magazine. Based in the South of France, Alison wrote about luxury yachting for Prestige’s Ultra HNWI readership.
Yacht Interior Design
"Creating the perfect ambience aboard a luxury yacht is a challenging and complex task, requiring knowledge and understanding of more than the latest fashionable fabrics or furnishings."
Flotsam and Jetset
"Fashion-watchers worldwide take note: forget watches, jewellery, cars and sunglasses: the
ultimate lifestyle accessory for the new millennium
is a yacht."
Sailing a Mediterranean Summer
"It's summertime and those who know how best to enjoy the season are whiling away the sunny days and balmy nights aboard luxurious private yachts in and around the Mediterranean."
Advertorial
In her capacity as The Crew Coach, Alison was regularly asked to write for glossy printed magazine The Crew Report, with a broad global readership of luxury yacht crew. Alison used this opportunity to position her business as a leading authority on crew dynamics, leadership and career coaching, while still providing engaging content that was both informative and highly readable.
News Writing & Editing
Alison had the good fortune to learn the craft of news writing and editing from a former Editor of the Sun UK newspaper. This has given Alison a ruthless eye for grammatical detail, a nose for sniffing out the ‘hook’ in any article and the ability to nail a headline at 1000 paces. This set her in good stead for her stint as Assistant Editor on the Riviera Gazette, and has also come in handy writing for many other publications since.
The Riviera Gazette
As Assistant Editor on The Riviera Gazette, Alison Rentoul was involved in writing and editing every article of every issue of this English language newspaper printed on the French Riviera.
