"As Editor of Scan Magazine, I worked with Karin in a freelance capacity and found her to be very professional, reliable and easy to work with. She always delivered quality writing on deadline and brought plenty of positivity and flair to boot. I'd be more than happy to recommend her for any similar feature or copywriting work."

Copy for Projects

by Juniper Trading.
Foreword and guiding content by
Karin Blak.
Click here for the Juniper Trading website.
Having established exactly what Juniper Trading's ideas were and what they required the copy to do, this project included researching the topic, writing the copy and collaborating on the layout.
"Working with Karin on The Wellness Journal was a real pleasure. I was
extremely impressed by her ability to carry out the required
background research and then write about this important topic in an
engaging and accessible way, all while working to a tight deadline.
Karin comes highly recommended as a copywriter!"

The Essential Companion to Talking Therapy

Perfect for those currently in therapy, seeking therapy, considering returning to therapy, or supporting a loved one through therapy, this book by Karin Blak is the definitive companion to the therapeutic experience. It will guide you through finding the most appropriate therapy and therapist for your issues, prepare you for the therapeutic experience and provide ideas on how to manage life after therapy. It will give you the best possible chance of getting the most out of your emotional and financial investment.
This is my favourite book that I read this month. It goes through the entire therapeutic process, from beginning to end. It discusses how to select and find out if a therapist is a good fit. It discusses the ethics of therapy, and how therapy is supposed to slowly come to an end, with the tools to take on the challenges to face. This book is the perfect starting place.
