I am a former Bureau Chief with AFX News – a Financial Times/Agence France Press joint venture newswire – and I bring a deep insight into the workings of the political, industrial, commercial machine that is Asia. I have lived and worked in Asia for more than 20 years - in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand and have covered life in all of its glory across most of Asia. I have a strong understanding and empathy with the cultures that underpin the modern fabric of this dynamic region. I am a freelance writer, a freelance editor, sub-editor, proofreader and an educator too. Beyond the bailiwick of reporting on finance, economics, agriculture and manufacturing, I also specialise in writing about entertainment, the arts, music, literature and culture – as the term applies to all of the Asian nations. I have been a full time Moderator for the Bangkok Post website Comments Section and Public Forum.
On the production side I have been involved in company, newspaper, magazine and web site start-ups and involved hands-on in the production of a wide range of popular publications. I work from my offices in Bangkok and the UK and have for more than 20 years worked online, filing copy, editing, moderating and researching. I also routinely do freelance in-house editing and produce feature assignments on any subject with cameras anywhere in the world, including the challenging trouble spots. My grasp of the English lexicon means I am also often gainfully employed as an English teacher at the corporate level and occasionally in the face-to-face school environment.
If you need my services as a writer, reporter, correspondent or as an editor, please get in touch at any time. My talents have a broad sweep and my style of work is evident in my web sites hosted under the umbrella of www.thelittleempire.com, a commercial doorway to a labyrinth of sites employing my skills and deeper knowledge of the Internet and Cloud Computing in particular.
I speak Thai, Cantonese, German, French and English. I am studying Mandarin.
For any assignment – writing or teaching - you can call me on +44 7510372102 or email me at alexpithie@gmail.com.
