UK Copywriters Directory

Born in Yorkshire, I’ve spent over two decades working in communications in French-speaking Europe. My non-conventional career path has seen me move from shadow-writing a novel, to working as an EU agricultural journalist and managing magazines in both the public and private sectors – before specializing in corporate communications.

I have been running my own business since 2012, initially managing social media (including content creation). My passion has always been writing, and in 2020 I took a Diploma in copywriting to formalise this area of my business. I am now writing blogs, monthly newsletters, web pages, eBooks, lead magnets and articles for clients throughout the UK. The feedback from clients is that I always find their tone of voice, and very rarely get asked for amendments. Clients range from an IT company to a tattoo studio - and just about everything in between! I am a keen business networker and a member of BNI, which has really changed my business and client base. When I'm not scribing, I love to cook and eat out - yes, I'm a real foodie! I also follow many sports including cricket, F1 and MotoGP. As a teenager I wanted to be a music journalist and still have a real passion for music - I'm not one of those writers who needs silence to be productive.

As a UX copywriter, offering web copywriting services, I write words that resonate with your ideal client in a way that makes sense to them so that hitting that “book now” or “sign up” button is natural. Expect a research-based strategy-focused approach, and a lot of chat about how words and design go hand-in-hand for a high quality user experience. Choose from full done-for-you website copywriting and blog writing services or budget friendly support options for those who wish to DIY. A typical website copy project includes: • In-depth research of your business – copy project kick-off questionnaire, 4 x 15 mins voice of customer interviews, competitor analysis, brand voice development. • UX website strategy – guidance on what pages are needed, what the flow of each page and the entire website should look like, and what key information is needed and where. • SEO keyword research and on-page optimisation – to help people find you on Google. • Research summary – delivered at projection completion to help you in shaping your marketing strategy (you’ll have ready-to-use snippets of copy to use in social media captions). • 6 pages of website copy – e.g. Home, About, 1-3 Services pages, Contact, Portfolio (strategy stage will determine the exact needs for your business). • SEO optimised title tags and meta descriptions – to help people click through to you in the search results. • Fully formatted copy wireframe to guide your website designer with design and layout for each page – you’ll get clear information about where headings, lists, buttons etc go. • One page mocked up as a web page (PDF) – to allow you to see the flow of information and visualise how the words can come to life on your website. • Support to help you provide me with effective feedback – you’ll get detailed notes to help you understand the wireframed copy, a support document with examples of ‘copy in design’, and a guided ‘walk through’ call of the copy after the first draft is written. • 2 rounds of amendments – to ensure you are 100% happy. • Support during the website build / design stage – I’ll liaise with your website designer so that they can speak to me if there are queries or if tweaks are needed during the website build and copy input process. I’ll review your site from a UX perspective before it goes live. Check out examples of work: https://wordcraftservices.co.uk/portfolio/

I specialise in branding, strategy, and priority copy for high-end marketing projects and high-tech niche organisations based predominantly in Germany and Switzerland.

My regular clients include well-known consulting firms, premier league branding and marketing agencies, and a selection of respected German and Swiss institutions.

I help brands find their voice, articulate their message and connect with their audience. Before becoming a freelancer, I was a (rather exacting) client. I used to be Head of Digital for some blue-chip brands, so ROI is never far from my mind as I put words through their paces. I’m fluent in all things digital, and I love collaborating with developers and designers to create content with impact. My side-hustle is sociolinguistics and my research is published in the journal Gender and Language. That means I’m just as happy conducting in-depth research and communicating complex ideas as I am writing killer UX copy. As a seasoned freelancer and contractor, I bring all my expertise and experience to each new project, whether that’s writing for a heritage brand or creating a launch strategy for a start-up.

PUTTING YOUR WHY INTO WORDS I'm a freelance copywriter and editor specialising in corporate reports - annual, sustainability, ESG, DEI, gender pay, inclusion and any other type of report you care to publish. I've worked with universities as well as some of the world's biggest corporates. I love working with businesses and organisations who have something different to say and want to say it well. I don't just write reports - you can also reply on me for beautifully-written websites and case studies, landing pages, customer emails, blog posts, feature articles, sales leaflets and press releases. I don't just write pitch-perfect words - I can help with strategic input and wider comms planning as well. I'll drill down to the core of your product or service and extract the nugget of communications gold that will encourage people to sit up and take notice. I don't just create stuff - I improve it, too. If you need a copy editor or proofreader for anything from a press release to a self-published business book, just give me a shout.

Well-written copy is invaluable. It builds brand awareness and trust, communicates your story, and compels the reader to take action. Copy makes the difference in visiting a website; clicking an ad or scrolling past; liking, sharing, engaging and following; making a call or sending an email; a decision to purchase there and then. When it comes to digital and content marketing, copywriters don’t just need to be great writers. They also need to understand SEO, link building, and the user journey. For businesses without the necessary in-house expertise or resources, getting this right can be a hard slog. It doesn't have to be. I'll take the time to understand your business and what you need. Then we can get to work - creating copy and content that speaks to your customers.

I started my writing career in broadcast news, working for BBC radio then ITV. 20 years of reporting taught me the art of storytelling and the value of keeping things simple. I now run If... Media from my home in Devon, helping businesses and charities to fine-tune their communications, engage with their clients through words and pictures and get their message "out there". I provide copywriting, PR, media training and script/produce/present videos.

A versatile and dynamic professional with extensive experience in copywriting, editorial roles, and communications, I bring a rich blend of creativity, strategic planning, and content management expertise to the table. My career encompasses significant achievements in diverse sectors, including non-profit organisations, publishing, and marketing, underscoring my adaptability and proficiency in engaging diverse audiences. With a solid academic background in creative writing and performance, complemented by multilingual capabilities, I excel in crafting compelling narratives, managing content strategies, and executing impactful marketing campaigns. Instrumental in advancing organisational goals through effective communication, I am a proactive team player dedicated to enhancing brand visibility and audience engagement.
