    As a trilingual copywriter (English, Spanish and Dutch) you can provide your brief in any of my languages. I work with trusted reviewers in the country of your target audience to ensure the texts will resonate. My network includes professional translators and copywriters with a wide range of specialisations. I have set up a website with two colleagues who work in Dutch: write-outside-the-box.eu/en/ellen-singer/ Variation is key to keep me focused. I studied history and later became a chef. I have been a technical translator for more than two decades, but have never avoided a challenge that crossed my path, which is how I started speaking at (translation) conferences and writing copy. I love learning about virtually everything, big and small, which is what keeps me motivated. Contact me if you need a copywriter on food, drinks, board games or technical products. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it spurs me on.

    Mam's the Word – Giving brands a voice Hi, I’m Dan Brough and I’m a creative advertising copywriter. From 25 characters to gloriously-long press ads, and everything in between, I can give your company a personality. I'm on a mission to make communications clear, concise and real. That’s why I apply plain English principles and language to my writing. Why have something that looks gorgeous but the words make folk run for the hills? The two have to work together. I truly consider the format and audience, and make sure the message is right and will have an impact. I’m able to digest complicated copy and then translate and craft it, so you have a human tone of voice that stands out, and a story that makes your audience buy into you and love you. I’m also massively into UX. I believe in writing understandable and accessible copy for the web. What’s the point of a beautiful looking website if no one knows where to go next? Call to action is king. I can help with web copy at any level: from advising on the structure of websites and full copywriting, including keywords and meta data, to light-editing of pre-existing copy. I studied Graphic Design before Design Advertising (where I specialised in copywriting), so I happen to know a thing or two about kerning, fonts and white space. And with years of proofreading behind me, I pride myself on my meticulous attention to detail when it comes to spelling, grammar and punctuation. I specialise in: Concept and idea development Full copywriting across all mediums Audit of existing communications from a copy perspective Creating and developing brand personality and core messaging Final copy checks of all materials Proofreading Web content workshops I offer one-to-one tuition and also run grammar workshops for businesses and institutions who want to improve their understanding of words. After leaving Newcastle College of Art & Design, I began my working life as a junior copywriter for Navigator Responsive Advertising in Edinburgh. I then worked my way up the ranks to a senior position, working for various creative agencies in Edinburgh including DraftWorldwide, Family, 1576, The Union, The Leith Agency, and then Frame, Glasgow. After 15 years of living in Edinburgh, I moved back to the homeland, where I worked for Drummond Central in the Toon for 12 years as Head of Copy. In my spare time, I’m Co-Leader of an initiative called ‘Ladies, Wine & Design Newcastle’ which supports hundreds of creative ladies in the North East. I also love hunting for ‘treasure’ – my favourite thing to do is scour junk shops and car booters for vintage ER china and glassware. My husband describes me as a ‘collector of everything’. I also happen to be a lover of the Queen, and the King himself, Mr Elvis Presley.

    Are you a B2B, legal, financial or professional services company, or a startup or scaleup, who is finding it hard to differentiate your products and services in an overcrowded market? Do your experts understand what you do, but customers don't? You need a freelance B2B copywriter who understands the language unique to your business. Not just any writer, but one who can translate complex ideas into simple yet engaging copy and help your customers understand, “what’s in it for me?” Here’s why I’m that writer: • As a former corporate lawyer, the language of business is my second language. I help you ditch the blah and deliver your message with words that will inform, persuade and engage your audience – turning sceptical B2B buyers into your best customers. • As an experienced copywriter (but not past it just yet!), I tell stories that build a brand, nurture leads and position your business as a trusted advisor – moving customers from “I’m not sure” to “YES!” and ultimately driving revenue. • I've worked with over 100 B2B businesses just like you, to simplify your message for your customers and help them see the value you bring – WITHOUT being sleazy, salesy or spammy. I research, write and create web copy, white papers, case studies, emails, landing pages, reports, video scripts, blogs, brochures, pitch decks, bid packages ... pretty much anything that gets your business where it needs to be. Here are a few examples of what I have done for past clients: • The SEO revamp I did of one client’s website resulted in a 146% increase in traffic • Articles I wrote for a legal client resulted in a 64% increase in traffic to their blog • An email sequence I wrote increased webinar sign ups by 200% But enough about me. Want to talk about what I can do for you? Shoot me an email and let's get started. jayne@whiterosecopywriting.com

    Your story... You’re busy bringing out the best in others. Coaching leaders. Developing teams. Supporting customers. Helping organisations to be effective, engaging and successful. You know what makes people tick. And you’ve got a point of view on leadership, business, culture, behaviour, emotional intelligence, talent, assessment and learning. With more time – or an easier way with words – you’d be knocking out white papers, brochures, guides and blog posts like there’s no tomorrow. My words... Great writing builds trust. But it’s not just about picking the right words. It’s about the work behind them. The requirements gathering, fact finding, benefit spotting, message distilling, meaning building, tone setting, experience testing, perspective shifting, consistency checking, problem fixing. My job is to take this work off your plate. To think about what makes you and your business special. To tune in to your audience. And to craft the words that capture your point of view – on time and in budget. Their feedback... "Sam asked all the right questions, listened carefully to the answers and quickly demonstrated great understanding of what our business is about and what we are looking to achieve. We knew immediately that Sam could help us with our business and with achieving our objectives." Mark Constable, MD, Business Consultant and Coach at Equip Business. "I know Sam’s going to think hard about every sentence, which means we don’t have to!" Nick Padmore, Creative Director at Schwa Consulting.

    Are you a Made in Italy brand ready to bring your magic to the English-speaking (or international) market? Translation is one option, but often that’s not enough if you really want to make an impact with English speakers. Or perhaps you’re a UK-based company with a strong international customer base? You communicate with them in English but are aware that in many cases, this is your customers’ second, third, or even fourth language. You need communications that are succinct, crystal clear, and easily digestible. Hi, I’m Fuschia. I’m a multilingual copywriter and translator. I happily let customers brief me in Italian or English (or both if they choose!). In return, I give them compelling copy and content, tailored for the English (or international) market. The only downside? You might have to put up with my English accent. Sorry. I draw on my 9 years’ experience in international marketing, where I learned to communicate effectively with colleagues in 40 countries. Looking for copy in Italian? No problem, I can connect you with excellent native Italian copywriters. And lastly… I have a particular penchant for ethical/ sustainable brands and art & design clients. My services include: • SEO web copy • SEO content creation • Transcreation • Translation (specialisms: marketing, sustainability, art & design)

    Looking for a copywriter? Well, you’re in the right place. But where to start with 951 copywriters and 17 agencies to choose from, here on ProCopywriters? Here’s my advice … 1. Decide on your non-negotiables You may want an expert in your field. You may simply want someone who can write well and turn their hand to any subject. 2. Draw up a longlist Use the Search Directory helpfully provided by ProCopywriters to find those with the required skills and specialisms. You can also specify region: you may wish to meet someone in person; you may want someone to work in-house. 3. Whittle it down to a shortlist Read as many profiles as you can until you have five or so candidates who meet those non-negotiables. Before selecting which ones to contact, pay particular attention to: portfolios and testimonials, as well as how well written their profiles are. They should be readable and entertaining, without being overwritten or too eager to please everyone. 4. Look at websites (if you haven't done so already) 5. Set your copywriter their first all-important test: how easy are they to contact? How quickly do they get back to you? Are they friendly and approachable on the phone? As you introduce yourself and your brief, are they really listening or are they too quick to sell? Ask for specifics and evidence of expertise. Other titbits... Trust your instincts. Don’t commit too soon. There are plenty more copywriters out there if the first few aren’t the right fit. (Word of warning: you need to book the best copywriters well in advance. Get in early.) All the best with your search. I’m sure it’ll be worth it. Once you’ve found the right copywriter, you can return to whatever you love most about running your business.

Hannah Rose

“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.”
