    I’m a strategic brand copywriter and digital marketing expert. I’m obsessed with making every word have a purpose. If it’s not leading the reader somewhere, or giving them a reason to care, I'll cut it. The process starts messy, like a thousand puzzle pieces strewn across the floor. Copywriting is the final piece that organises the chaos and persuades your audience to take action. A few clients I've worked with: LHH, Diageo, Google (B2B side), Spirax Sarco, HSBC, Mayakoba, BNY Mellon, PayPal, SanDisk, INFINITI, MItsubishi, Philips Want a reliable, committed, strategic-thinking copywriter who is 100% invested in your project?

    You're busy, so let's keep this quick. Here are 4 questions my clients ask: ONE: How much do you charge for copywriting and content writing? Around £400 per day, depending on your business, the writing which is needed, and the deadline. Small businesses and charities generally pay less than agencies and larger businesses. Once we have a discovery call and I learn all about your business, I'll create a bespoke proposal outlining your whole project and the exact costs. You'll know the full costs of the project before you sign the contract. The only reason the price will change is if the scope changes, but we'll discuss this if it arises. TWO: Are you available now? Sort of. Very likely, yes. I intentionally leave lots of space in my diary for quick projects, such as a page of website copy, or a couple of blogs. So, if I can squeeze in some work I will. I really get a kick out of helping people, and I get that you might need some copy fast. Depending on the exact deadline you need (AKA: how late I'll have to work in the evening or if I'm working over a weekend) I might need to include a 25% rush fee. Generally, it takes around 6- 8 weeks to complete a copywriting project like a white paper or a full website. I can be booked for these projects 2- 3 months in advance. We can discuss exact deadlines in your discovery call. THREE: Are you an experienced copywriter? Yes. I've written everything from SEO blogs to Instagram captions to Deliveroo listings. I've written white papers and website copy. I've written newsletters and emails and product descriptions. I'm pretty gosh darn confident I could write anything you wanted. I mostly write for fabulous small UK business owners, but I've also worked with digital agencies, national brands, and international businesses. My writing has even appeared in the press, and I've got a burgeoning Substack newsletter. Head to my website for examples of my writing. FOUR: What happens when a client works with a copywriter?Everyone's got their own processes, but this is how I work best. 1. We start with a discovery call, which lasts up to 30 minutes. This is where I learn exactly what you’re looking for, the deadline, and your budget. 2. I’ll write you a proposal. If you’re happy to proceed, I’ll send you a contract and an invoice for 50% of the fee. 3. It's time for you to create a super detailed brief. I can help you with this. 4. I write your first draft and send it to you. You tell me about anything which needs to be edited. 5. I edit the first draft and send draft two back to you, with the final invoice. 6. You upload the copy to your website, or send it to your email list, or post on social media, and start engaging with your customers. 7. (And, perhaps you write me a lovely testimonial too? Hey, a girl can dream!) That's it! Easy, huh? "Bonnie refined my brand voice and optimised what I wanted to say into a condensed and easy- to- read format. All my conversations with Bonnie were natural and productive. She delivered all that she promised in a timely and professional manner." I can't wait to meet you and hear all about your business.

    ✨"...with such a complex message, clarity was essential. You have succeeded where we had struggled and the brochures and project proposals you've written are pitched perfectly." ✨ Peter Tyler and Gordana Mandic, Directors, Tyler Mandic Architects, Chelsea, London. Hi there, I'm Andrew – a Northampton-based freelance copywriter for all things architectural, the built landscape, placemaking, heritage, photographic, and the great outdoors. A writer who brings places, spaces, products, and services to life with meaningful and memorable words. Words that can... • Paint a persuasive picture • Simplify a complex message • Engage, resonate, and connect with your ideal audience • Evoke a thought or a feeling • Tell your compelling story • Break down potential barriers • Build trust • Help you stand out from your competitors • Inspire even the mildly curious to act... Copy with a human touch, written to resonate and connect with the people you most want to reach. Unlike something that's been unimaginatively cobbled together by ChatGPT or one of its AI cousins. So, whatever your message. Whatever your aim, let me find just the words you're after. ✨"You have a wonderful natural style ... this is excellent - thank you. Just what we were hoping for!" ✨ Jo Shaer, Lollipop - content marketing specialists for Fire and Security sectors. Why do I write for such a mix of sectors? It's not quite such a random choice as you might think. Instead, it's all about photography. Before entering the world of copywriting in 2018, I was a freelance landscape and location photographer. Shooting editorial and commercial images for stock and various clients, including the National Trust, I specialised in photographing Britain's architecture, landscapes, gardens, and heritage locations. All things that genuinely interested me. And still do. So it made perfect sense to write for clients in the same sectors, too. In a way, I'm still creating pictures, only now using words rather than a camera. With just the right words, I paint persuasive pictures to bring places, spaces, products, and services to life. ✨“What can I say? Your words took me on a journey. I was fully engaged and absolutely loved the writing style!" ✨ Toni-Ann Bird, Director, Guild House Estate Agents, Warwickshire. Some extra (reassuring) bits you'll want to know... 🎯 I have a diverse copywriting portfolio. Projects include writing for... • Architects • Luxury outdoor clothing brands • High-end contemporary and period design properties • Designer watch and jewellery engraving • PropTech 3D Smart City modelling platform for sustainable urban design and planning • Garden design • Independent housebuilding/construction • Garden retail • Marketing agencies • A household name in paint • Photographers • Photographic studios • Local authority planning officers • Fire safety and protection • CCTV and Security systems • Cyber-security • Business Resilience • Wellbeing in nature • Photographic holidays, tours, and workshops, and • Heritage tourism 🎯 I've written in-depth illustrated articles and short features for various UK consumer and trade publications. Topics include garden design and history, heritage travel, and (naturally) photography. 🎯 I'm trained and qualified with a College of Media & Publishing (CMP) Level 4 Diploma (with Distinction) in Copywriting. 🎯 I also have a CMP Level 4 Diploma (Distinction) in Google SEO. 🎯 I'm fully insured with Professional Indemnity cover for £1,000,000 from Policy Bee. 🎯 My current day rate is £360. According to ProCopywriters' latest survey for 2024, the UK average day rate is £440 meaning you get the essential words you're after at a rate that's realistic and fair for both of us. Now, what would you like me to write? I can help you with... ✅ Advertorials / Advertising Features / Sponsored Articles ✅ Blog posts and Articles - Search Engine Optimised (SEO) ✅ Brochures, Booklets, Flyers, Guides, Leaflets, Postcards, Posters... ✅ Direct Mail Sales Letters ✅ eBooks ✅ Emails - nurture, share your news, promote, inform, entertain etc. ✅ Project descriptions - architectural storytelling for architects, placemakers, developers, planners... ✅ Taglines, Straplines and Slogans ✅ Web Pages ✅ Website Refresh - adding a little polish to make your words really shine ✨"Thank you so much, Andrew - this is great! You’ve really nailed the evocative copy we're after. And with so many options for taglines, we definitely have that part of the project covered too." ✨ Emma Mathias, Bradshaw Taylor - the home of luxury outdoor clothing and country lifestyle brands. So, for captivating, enticing, and memorable copy and content that's... • Carefully crafted for your ideal audience • Easily understood - but not dumbed down • Always engaging, and • Never dull Please get in touch. Head over to my new look website, email me from this page, or call me (you'll find the links below) and tell me more about the words you're after because I'd love the opportunity to work with you on your next copywriting project. ✨"Thank you for your collaboration, Andrew, your work has been invaluable to us." ✨ Paola Bergamaschi, Studio Director, Christian Tagliavini Photographic Art, Switzerland

    Sorry for butting in, but did you say you were looking for a copywriter who goes the extra mile? Someone who only files your copy when it has been explored from every angle (UX, SEO, readability, CTAs, flow, etc.)? More importantly, can I tempt you out of hiring any of the other writers here with the promise of a "free consultation" (i.e. quick phone chat, bring your own biscuits)? Let's talk! Here's what I can do for you: 1/ Websites. My forté. If your website isn't cutting it, I'll dissect it, reimagine it, plan out a better way of coming at things and then deliver sparkling copy built with user experience, conversion and SEO in mind. This is what I do most days (please see my lovely freelance copywriter website for testimonials). 2/ Interviews. When you need a seasoned writer to speak to someone important (case studies, CEO interviews, customer stories etc.), I lean on 20+ years of experience and literally thousands of successfully completed jobs to get you what you need. I regularly put heart and soul into other kinds of work, too, such as: * Marketing emails and newsletters * Survey results/analysis/reports * Corporate copy * International copywriting (when you need a native-English copywriter) * White papers and reports * Brochures and more. Over the years I have: * Got lost in creative work for everyone from Samsung to Cannes Lions and Harrods. * Generated meticulously planned (and written) launch copy for countless websites – large and small. * Created social media content for all the main channels. * Penned copy for technical guides, flyers, billboards, packaging and LinkedIn profiles. * Helped numerous brands to increase web traffic, conversions and time on site. If you need a go-getting, efficient, highly skilled writer who 'gets' things quickly and doesn't faff about... drop me a line :) --- "At TITAN Containers, we've discovered a true wordsmith in Mike. I am proud to recommend him to those in need of exceptional copywriting services." Rasmus Nørgaard, Group CMO, TITAN Containers "It's rare to find someone who truly wants to help your business grow, but Mike is that exception. Full of great ideas, he has helped with amazing email and website copy." Amy Brann, Founder, Synaptic Potential "I was picky when choosing our copywriter – I'm so glad I hit the jackpot with Mike! He gets it. Quick, self-propelled, adaptable – and super professional to work with." Ingrid Söderberg, Marketing & Growth Manager, Upsales Check this out if you found yourself here after falling down a rabbit hole and wondering what does a freelance copywriter do? .

    'Refreshingly different from the usual twaddle.' Or so one of my agency clients tells me. Hey, I’m Laura. I’ve been writing copy and content for well over a decade, parenting a wild child for six years, and failing to tame a crazy hairstyle for a lifetime. I’m a Leeds-based freelance copywriter. Business owners, like you, hire me to write and edit words that give your business personality and make you more money. You’re great at what you do. You’ve got fab ideas, you’re a laugh to be around, and you have a killer business approach that throws shade on your competitors. But if you’re a “synergy-focussed solutions expert with a passion for customer care”, no one’s going to have a bloody clue what you’re on about. Your copy needs to be free from naff jargon, full of personality, friendly to Google, and fire up your customers to think: ‘Hey, it’s YOU I need to buy from.’ But how do you do that? Hire a freelance copywriter and content writer, like me. I’ll save you time, reduce your stress and build your business with the words that sell your stuff to the right people. Nosy at my website for other people's opinions about me and how much I charge (let's be honest, that's what you want to know, right?).
