My name’s David McIlroy. I’m a freelance writer, editor and proofreader based in Dromara, Northern Ireland. I’m married to the beautiful Christine (photographer extraordinaire!) and we have two bonkers dogs called Lupin and Ghost.

A little history: I grew up in Kilkeel, County Down, before moving to Belfast to study – there, I gained a BA in English and Film followed by a Masters in Creative Writing, both from Queen’s University. I also have a Masters in Youth and Community Work with Practical Theology. My varied interests led me to roles in video production, administration and youth work before I settled on becoming a freelance writer full time. I love writing – it’s something that comes naturally to me, and I grow more passionate about it every day.

I have ongoing experience writing content for websites and blogs, proofreading text and copy-editing existing work, but I’m always seeking to expand my portfolio. I enjoy working with people who take pride in their ventures and want to see them flourish – if my creative input can help make this happen, then I’m happy.

If you’d like me to work on a project for you, please just get in touch!

This is my portfolio of work completed for clients. It’s growing all the time thankfully, and I’m always on the lookout for more people to work with. Clicking on an image will tell you a bit more about how I helped that particular client. If you’d like to know more, just drop me a line.
