There is more to writing than just putting words together to form an article. Because producing ungrammatical text does not necessarily mean that you can write, it means that sometimes, great ideas do not translate to brilliant text.

To effectively sell an idea or concept through the written word, text needs to be clear, compelling and creative, laced with unique style and energy.

At ^TM, we provide personalised service to turn your communication needs from ordinary to WOW. Our Copy Writer/Wordsmith will work closely with you to develop the right tone and text for your project whether it is for feature/travel articles, editing, writing, re-writing, copywriting, proof-reading, search engine optimising, advertising materials, or press releases.


Copy Writer/Wordsmith: Patricea Chow-Capodieci

Patricea's love for words began when she could read, and was inspired by how writers like Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton transformed insipid events into fantastic occurrences.

Patricea has 10 years of combined writing, copywriting, editing and publishing experience, with an extensive portfolio ranging from publications to websites and company collaterals.

As an undergraduate reading English Language at the National University of Singapore, she contributed articles and editorial concepts to her hostel's monthly newsletter. A few months before graduating in 2000, Patricea was hired by Free Market Media as a Journalist for the Singapore Gazette, a free monthly newspaper focusing on life in Singapore's suburban neighbourhoods.

Two months later, she was headhunted by Get Asia Inc., a premier network of Asian websites specialising in on-demand leisure information for the region. As an Assistant Editor for the Singapore portal, GetAsia.com.sg, Patricea developed the Nightlife channel into the eminent source of information on after-dark entertainment options in Singapore.

She then engaged in research and writing for the inaugural People At The Peak, a coffee-table book about the movers and shakers of Singapore, at Magazines Incorporated in 2002.

In 2003, Patricea became the Features Writer for well-known Singapore food magazine, Eat!, generating feature articles encompassing reviews of eateries, interviews with foreign ambassadors, and Singaporean celebrities and thespians.

Patricea joined FLP Singapore Pte Ltd in 2004 as a Copywriter, managing the planning; writing; final editing, and layout concept for Voices, the bi-monthly newsletter of the Central Community Development Council of Singapore. Besides assisting FLP in retaining the 2005/06 contract for Voices, Patricea was also part of the team that secured a S$500,000 advertising and media planning annual contract with Hitachi Asia Ltd for JP1 software management system.

Concurrently, the active lady banded with four friends to form INDULGE!. From 2002 to 2004, she oversaw the editorial direction and content development of www.comeindulge.com, a website dedicated to promoting Singapore nightlife culture in an engaging manner. She also contributed feature articles to Expat magazine, Insignia magazine for UOB, and The Winning Post magazine of the Singapore Turf Club.

In mid-2005, she became Deputy Editor at Teenage magazine, a Singapore lifestyle magazine for youths from the age of 12. Patricea revamped the magazine with a more clearly defined editorial concept and a cleaner layout; introduced columns touching on youth concerns encompassing health, activities and social issues, and provided youths an avenue express themselves through writing and photography.

From the beginning of 2006, Patricea has been engaged by various companies to develop their corporate web site content: Barefoot Multimedia (Bali), web site developers - Be Barefoot; Puri Puri Kecil (Bali), resort/villa - Puri Puri Kecil Bali; Adis Silver (Bali) - Adis Silver; Decorus Pte Ltd (Singapore), wholesale of Helios watches - Helios Watches. She also briefly joined the educational publication arm of Marshall Cavendish International (Singapore) Pte Ltd, owned by Singapore's largest educational publishing company, Times Publishing Group, as an Assistant Senior Editor.

Beginning in the last quarter of 2006, Patricea has contributed feature articles to The Yak magazine published in Bali, and keyword-rich content for search engine optimising to United Kingdom-based content providers, Articles & Content, and web site content to travel website HotelsByCity.

With her vast experience in dealing with and meeting the various content and text needs of different clients, Patricea understands the individual needs of each project, and enjoys the challenge of meeting those needs, so that everyone is happy and satisfied with the final result.
