Copywriting

‘I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word…’

So said nineteenth-century poet Emily Dickinson. But what’s happened to that power in our noisy modern world? These days we are bombarded by so many words that it can be tempting to SHOUT in order to make ourselves heard. But I’m with Emily – I believe that an honest, carefully crafted statement still has the power to cut through the noise. You don’t need to shout when you’re writing with a clear purpose and choose your words with care.

Care and intention underpin all my work, as does thorough research. You can rely on me for honest, accurate prose. I can write meaningful, jargon-free copy that brings clarity to complex subjects, but I also enjoy a more light-hearted brief. If you want a little flair – a little je ne sais quoi to surprise and delight your customers – then just say the word. (Cheesy puns available on request.)

I’ve listed the copywriting services I currently offer below, and am happy to discuss creating a bespoke package that will suit your needs. We will always discuss and agree on a clear brief before deciding to proceed.

If you have any questions about the services I offer, would like to discuss my fees or aren’t sure what you need, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

“I like words. I like fat buttery words, such as ooze, turpitude, glutinous, toady. I like solemn, angular, creaky words, such as straitlaced, cantankerous, pecunious, valedictory. I like spurious, black-is-white words, such as mortician, liquidate, tonsorial, demi-monde…”
