🤔 Are you tired of your marketing messages falling flat?
🤔 Do you know what you want to say… but spend hours rewriting, only to find it’s still not right?
🤔 Or maybe you just don't have the time – or the skills – to write clear and compelling copy for your business
I can help.
Hello – I'm Sarah Townsend.
When your words shine, your business thrives.
As a freelance copywriter and copy editor for 25+ years, I write copy that gets you noticed – for all the right reasons.
Are your words working hard for you? Or are they more BLAH BLAH than TA-DA?!
Make your words work harder, and see better results for your business
I offer three core services:
✨ MESSAGING AUDITS
Where the magic starts! I’ll deep-dive your website and wider messaging to identify areas for improvement, and provide an in-depth report jam-packed with practical action points and next steps to help you get to where you want to be.
✨ DOCUMAGIC
Struggling with a strategy doc, mediocre website or an impact report that, well... lacks impact? I transform dull drafts and underperforming documents into sparkling words that get more eyes on your content – and more cash in your bank.
✨ WEBSITE COPYWRITING
Website copy not performing? Words not working hard? My clear, concise and compelling web copy converts casual browsers into paying clients. A well-written website can sell while you sleep – is it time to invest in yours?
