    Looking for fresh, conversational copy to help your business stand out online? Then my chatty style of copywriting could be just the thing to get your website, blogs, email newsletters or social media updates noticed. Why hire me? I'm not an English grad or journalist turned copywriter. I am a trained, experienced copywriter with a varied business background - everything from construction to banking to crazy golf (I kid you not!). I also have heaps of project management experience. I love researching new subjects and seek out opportunities to learn new skills. I specialise in ‘white hat’ SEO that appeals to both search engines and potential customers. And one of my absolute favourite things is coming up with creative marketing ideas, and adding more value to your business than just providing awesome copy. Although obviously I do that too! I have a long list of happy clients with whom I am only too happy to spend time chatting copywriting, marketing or business in general. Patience and handholding come as standard; perfect if you’re a small business or have never worked with a copywriter before. DISCLAIMER:I am currently living in Germany with my family, but as long as you're happy to chat over Zoom, I'm happy to be of service. :-)

    My love of words led me to write from an early age. At the age of 10, I was writing silly stories and rhyming poetry, so it seemed natural that my career would be within the creative industry. When I left college I joined the world of advertising and marketing where I worked with some amazing national companies in magazines, newspapers and radio. Constantly learning my craft on the job, my appetite to learn more and be the best I could be, drove me to achieving several diplomas in copywriting, content marketing, blogging, search engine optimisation (SEO) writing, social media and digital marketing. Over the years I’ve written an array of different projects including SEO writing for websites, radio/TV/video scripts, blogs, press releases, magazine/newspaper articles, social media posts, internal company documents, online and offline advertisements, etc. Goodwrite.ink, my own business, has been established for over 12 years where I have helped many businesses build their brand, be seen and heard, be visible online and create loyal customer relationships. As writing is my passion, being a professional copywriter is a dream come true.

    People need you - let’s not waste words. You’ve got fifty-five words to make people stay. You’ll need the exact search terms people use to look for you. That leaves about fifty words to say what you do. Using language that sounds like you and your brand. While tickling their subconscious psychological needs. Oh, and make it entertaining, too. Want some help? I’ve been writing professionally since 2016. I wrote content for personal finance blogs, then progressed into copywriting for a wide variety of clients and agencies. If you poked me with sticks, I’d probably admit a preference for working with ethical businesses and social enterprises. But I love to learn how things work, and I get a real kick from immersing myself in the fine details of different industries and disciplines. The bulk of my work this year has been for universities and HE providers, including University College London and the digital learning platform Coursera. I deliver: • Thumb-stopping website copy and article content • Extensive topic and industry research • Tone-Of-Voice Audio Recording Analysis, to help founders and entrepreneurs develop an authentic written persona Get in touch, and let’s get it written up the way you need.

“Find out what you like writing about and go all-in.”

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.”
