About

My recent projects have included project editing, email marketing copy, report editing, tone of voice, narrative and messaging development, website copy and content migration, training delivery, and comms/copy manager cover.

I'm based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire (about 25 min on the train from London). I started out in women's and teen magazines in 2001, as a features writer and editor, then moved into charity marketing as a copywriter in 2008.

I've written for pretty much every format you might need, online or off, from social to point-of-sale to policy reports. I love a bit of messaging work and tone-of-voice development. Whether you're looking for a solid copy editor or creative lead, I can help – I have lots of experience with idea generation and pitching, as well as stakeholder engagement, budget and line management.

I get especially excited by projects involving human rights, climate action, supporting young people, and/or books and literacy.
