    First up, let's be clear about our assumptions: I'm going to assume you're doing your *thing* pretty darned well. You might not be the best. Or the most premium. Or the most well-known. But you're not a hot mess and there are real reasons why customers should choose you. If this *isn't* true, close this browser window right now and go fix those things that are holding you back. Because I can't polish a turd. Or maybe I can polish it a bit. But it'll never shine quite like something of a less turdy nature. Like some nice metal. Or a jewel. But if it IS you, and you know that your words could be working harder, then you've come to the right place. So a bit about me... * Having started out at legendary brand agency Wolff Olins, I've worked with loads of big-name brands, across a ton of sectors. * Since going freelance in 2018, I've also helped lots of ambitious, growing businesses talk about what they do in a clear and meaningful way. * I'm versatile and adept at producing high-quality short and long copy, across all kinds of applications. And I can tell a story. * I keep a laser focus on the reader's needs, and will always champion clarity and accessibility. * Coming from a branding background, I know how to find your tone of voice, and can write clear guidelines that help everyone *get* it. * I'm a dream to work with (so say the people who've worked with me). If you're sensible, you'll want to see some work before hiring a copywriter. You'll find mine here: https://www.dylanparry.co.uk/ Assuming it leaves you with that warm n fuzzy feeling, please do get in touch. I'd love to talk.

    I have worked with words one way or another for more than 30 years. I’ve long been fascinated by the way that people interact with, and are influenced by, the written word. The power of words to transform and persuade is my ongoing passion. I’ve studied creative writing and therapeutic writing and I’m trained to lead writing groups. My background is in journalism and I have worked as a reporter, feature writer and a sub-editor for various publications and outlets including The Daily Express, CA Magzine, The Mirror, STV, The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Daily Record and The Daily Star. Writing projects have included web content for new credit cards, website content for economic development, healthcare providers and charity sites, and destination descriptions for the National Trust for Scotland. I’ve looked after various content management systems, written bids for international lawyers, and created content surfaced as Google featured snippets. I’ve worked on clients’ business launches, rebrands and website redesigns. I live in Cumbria with my dog and youngest son.

“I am at my best in the morning, so I try to schedule all creative tasks before lunch. If I’m struggling in the morning, I use the classic strategies of changing where I’m working from, taking a break, or exercising in the hope of a Eureka moment.”

Declan Morton, Copywriter.Declan Morton

“I’ve always enjoyed writing but I didn’t set up on my own account until 2019. At that point I had been teaching for nearly two decades and had become frustrated with the academy trust to which my then school belonged. I took a plunge and set up as a freelance writer.”

Jo Watson

“I wish we were all more honest when speaking to newer or younger copywriters and telling them what to expect in their career. It’s a hard job, it’s constantly evolving, and it’s still nowhere near as widely respected (as both an art and a science) as it should be.”

Abby King

“Let your work breathe. While it’s tempting to send over to the client once a piece is ready, I try to give it at least 24 hours (where time allows!) before I go back in, review and send.”
