By as soon as next year, it’s estimated that 90% of online content will be written by AI. Imagine that: an internet filled with soulless, sterile, faux-human garbage. Wanna be part of the other 10% — the human 10%? You should. Because, in a crowded marketplace, being different is so much smarter than being better.

Brands that want to celebrate their differences and value authentic, human-written words.

Web designers who want to partner with an experienced SEO copywriter so they can offer their clients a more complete website service. 🔹🔸🔹 What specialist skills do I have? 25+ years’ professional writing experience, gained in a variety of roles. 20+ years’ design experience, writing for composition, layout and website wireframes. 15+ years’ SEO copywriting expertise, writing websites and blog articles that rank well on Google. 12+ years’ as a conceptual copywriter, developing fully formed creative concepts for projects and campaigns. 🔹🔸🔹 Who am I? I’m a results-driven problem solver. Imaginative, analytical and relentless. I live and work on a farm in the Leicestershire countryside with an evil genius, an eager digger, and a clown. AKA my farmer fiancé and two little terrors — sorry, terriers. I’ll let you decide which one’s which. I’m a fan of dark humour, Irvine Welsh, hip-hop and dance music. And I love an ice-cold negroni — punchy and bitter, like me* *Just kidding! 🔹🔸🔹 Want to discuss a project? My DMs are open. Want prices first? They’re on my website.

First up, let's be clear about our assumptions: I'm going to assume you're doing your *thing* pretty darned well. You might not be the best. Or the most premium. Or the most well-known. But you're not a hot mess and there are real reasons why customers should choose you. If this *isn't* true, close this browser window right now and go fix those things that are holding you back. Because I can't polish a turd. Or maybe I can polish it a bit. But it'll never shine quite like something of a less turdy nature. Like some nice metal. Or a jewel. But if it IS you, and you know that your words could be working harder, then you've come to the right place.
