Magazine articles and feature stories
Grant will research the story, find a fresh angle – and meet your deadline. Grant will cover anything from a travel or sports story, to the launch of a new business. You could call him a ‘specialised generalist.’

Website Content
Grant can edit your words, or produce a website from scratch – starting with interviews to pin down the right facts. He has written websites for his own businesses, and worked on sites for other small to medium enterprises.

Media Releases and Newsletters
Many years of newsroom experience means Grant can spot a good media release from 20 paces. He knows how to write short, sharp releases – distributed at just the right time – to get your message or product noticed. Grant has written newsletters for finance companies, safety organisations, tourism bodies, websites and trusts - to name a few.

Newsletters
Grant has written newsletters for finance companies, safety organisations, tourism bodies, websites and trusts - to name a few. Newsletters are potent communication tool but hard to do well, a job for a professional writer.

Book Editing & Ghost Writing
If you’ve got a great book in you but don’t have time to write it...Grant will interview you for a ‘Mick Jagger’s Story – as told to Grant Dyson’ type of book. If you have to produce a byline (name of writer) article for an industry publication, he’ll write it for you. Grant has edited books including a Kiwi Lotto winner’s biography, and the story of a local couple’s epic sea voyage to Alaska.

Photography
Grant is a competent digital SLR photographer and picture editor, whose pictures have appeared in a variety of magazines and newspapers (But he doesn’t claim ‘expert’ status, and knows when to call in a professional photographer).

Media Training
Grant Dyson is the author of a easy to read manual called The Media Opportunity, ‘a survival-plus’ handbook on how to handle the media. The manual covers key do's and don'ts of media interviews, what reporters want from an interview, and what makes news. Order the Media Opportunity for $30, or inquire about Grant and cameraman Murray Maunder’s media training training workshops on radio and TV interviews.
