🤔 Are you tired of your marketing messages falling flat?
🤔 Do you know what you want to say… but spend hours tinkering, only to find it’s still not right?
🤔 Or maybe you just don't have the time – or the skills – to write clear, 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 words that get your business 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?

YOU SHOULD KNOW...

✏️ My writing helps businesses stand out, while 30+ years of commercial marketing experience – client-side, agency and freelance – makes working with me a breeze.

✏️ I’ve guested on 90+ podcasts and spoken about human language and freelance life in 50+ live events.

✏️ My bestselling guide to self-employment, Survival Skills for Freelancers, has helped freelancers in 28 countries grow in confidence and tackle the everyday challenges of self-employment.

✏️ My Little Book of Confusables 1 + 2 have chalked up four awards between them. People love them for their fun, memorable spelling tips and their gorgeous design.

✏️ I’m a lifelong nerd, obsessed with words, birds, movies and bargain hunting at car boot sales and on Vinted.
