    About Me

    I’m a freelance professional writer. I help businesses tell better stories to their customers.

    Everything about a business says something about its brand. Most businesses pay attention to their logo, but often less to the brand as it appears in the written form. Are your written communications telling the story you want your customers to hear?

    I’m a creative all-rounder, published in print and online, with experience across the SME and Voluntary sectors.

    I specialise in business writing, copywriting, press releases, features and promotional materials.

    How can I help?

    If you want to build brand loyalty, manage your reputation, let your customers know why your business is the one to help them, you need to talk to them…

    Often, it’s not what you say as a business, but how you say it.

    I take your written brand - from traditional media, press releases and brochures - to ‘thin-media’, like emails and newsletters, websites and business blogs - and work with you to bring the story of your business alive in words.

    Creative copy can influence, inform, entertain and persuade.  Words can increase awareness, answer questions and inspire.

    Why me?

    I’m tried and tested. I have a track record of effective business writing from brochures and features to press releases and web content.

    I’m qualified and experienced, with a Degree in English and a Masters in Professional Writing. My background is in marketing and the internet industry. I’m professional, reliable and customer-facing.

    Words have always worked for me. My copy can make words work for your business, too.
