UK Copywriters Directory - Content strategy

Do you need words that are, well, less wordy? I think we’re going to get along. I’m a copywriter and content designer on a mission to stamp out crap content and write words that people actually read.

Hello! I’m Lindsey, otherwise known as Wordy Bird, I’m an experienced freelance copywriter with a background in B2B and professional services. As you might expect from the name, I absolutely love words and what they can achieve. I love the way they can inform, persuade, convince, inspire and encourage. But more than that, I’m fascinated by the psychology behind the words. I enjoy the challenge of trying to find the right words that will motivate someone to buy your product or service. I’ve worked for a wide range of clients in various sectors including financial planning, accountancy, mortgages, marketing, IT and telecoms, charities, education and the arts.But I’ve also written about pond dye so this Wordy Bird isn’t one for being pigeon-holed. The type of projects I usually take on include: - Blog creation - Mailers, adverts - Content Strategy - Case studies, client stories - Brochures, guides - Straplines - Video scripts - Press releases - Email campaigns, newsletters - Landing pages, website copy. - Tone of voice But whatever the format, I’m here to create copy that will engage your audience and make them sit up and notice. It would be great to find the right words for your business. Take a look at my website for more details and do get in touch for a chat.

Hello! I’m an expert in the written word, providing editorial services to authors, publishers and businesses, helping them create polished, impactful content that connects with their audiences and achieves their goals. My extensive experience includes working on books, academic articles, business newsletters, blogs and personal memoirs. This means I can provide versatile and creative editorial support tailored to your project, with helpful advice, encouragement, and meticulous attention to detail. I can help you craft clear, compelling, and error-free content that resonates with your audience. These are the key services I offer: Editorial support: providing expert feedback on subject coverage, structure, flow, readability and tone Copy editing: making in-depth checks for consistency, clarity, and relevance; ensuring grammar, syntax, diction, spelling and punctuation are correct; reducing over-long sentences and paragraphs where required; double-checking text references and ensuring footnotes are accurate; removing unwanted formatting and ensure fonts used in headings and text are consistent throughout Proofreading: undertaking a final check for spelling and punctuation errors in headings and body copy; reviewing for consistency of headings, references and pagination; ensuring font consistency; addressing missing or repeated text; verifying source references, captions to diagrams and illustrations My background includes working for publishers such as Penguin Books, Macmillan and Heinemann. I’ve also worked as marketing and business development manager for a top twenty accountancy firm but in 2009 decided to set up my own business specialising in editorial consultancy. Recent projects have included editing the memoirs of an eminent neurosurgeon, editing a police procedural thriller, drafting newsletters and press releases for the International Stress Management Association, and editing a book on infrastructure development in Africa. I attend Indie Book Fairs, which promote self-published authors, and business networking events in my local area of South Oxfordshire. I’m proud to have been awarded as a winner in the SME 500 Awards 2025, and as a winner in the Global 100 Business Excellence Awards 2026. My writing skills come in useful as part of the voluntary work I do in my home town of Thame: I write press releases for Thame Players Theatre Company (who own the popular Players Theatre, run entirely by volunteers), and help to promote our guided Midsomer Walking Tours of Thame (a major destination for Midsomer Murders filming locations). When I’m not working, I love listening to classical music and reading crime thrillers. I’m also a foodie who loves cooking.

She can get to grips with a client’s business, technology, product or service by asking the right questions in order to create compelling, on-message content that really gets to the heart of what’s needed.” – Louise Quenzer, Head of Content My Background: I began my career at a small SEO agency in Leeds back in 2013, before moving through both creative and performance-focused agencies in the North and London, including Greenlight Digital (now Brave Bison), where I progressed to Lead Copywriter overseeing a team and managing content strategy across major client accounts.

Most businesses don't need more leads. They need to stop ghosting the ones they've already got. That's where I come in. I help businesses turn cold leads, ignored enquiries and dusty old email lists into replies, bookings and sales. Mostly through email. That's where the bulk of my copywriting work comes from these days, through The Email People. And honestly, I love it. Because while everyone's busy shouting about social media algorithms, AI prompts and whatever LinkedIn's pretending to care about this week, email's still quietly making businesses money in the background. Funny that. What I actually do I write emails people want to read. Not the corporate waffle filled with 'synergy', 'solutions' and paragraphs so dry they could absorb floodwater. I'm talking: Sales emails Welcome sequences Lead nurture campaigns Re-engagement emails Newsletters Automated email journeys Outreach emails Direct response campaigns The sort of stuff that sounds like an actual human wrote it. Mad concept, I know. Who I work with Mostly SMEs, agencies, consultants, SaaS companies and service businesses. Usually, businesses that know email matters but either: Haven't got time to do it properly Don't know where to start Or have been sending painfully dull emails nobody's reading Sometimes all three. My approach I write how people speak. Conversational. Clear. Benefit-led. No fake urgency. No chest-beating LinkedIn guru nonsense. No pretending every email needs to sound like a monster truck rally hosted by a crypto bro. Just good, solid copy that sounds natural and gets to the point. I want emails to feel like someone's having a proper conversation with you. Not reading from a laminated sales script while maintaining aggressive eye contact. What clients usually need help with Waking up dead email lists Getting more replies from outreach campaigns Building proper automated journeys Making technical services sound less painfully technical Improving engagement and conversions Stopping their emails from sounding like they were written by a committee of exhausted accountants The other side of what I do I also help with the technical bits behind the scenes. So alongside copywriting, I help businesses with: Email platform setup CRM support Deliverability reviews Automation Email template design Software recommendations Because good email marketing isn't just about writing nice words. It's making sure the bloody things actually land in someone's inbox, too. If you want emails that sound human and pull their weight, feel free to get in touch.

So, you're wondering if I have the credentials to work with your company? I'd say so... For over 15 years I've worked with brands across tech, culture, charities, education and design. I've also worked alongside some lovely PR agencies and marketing firms along the way. I'm a contributor to Design Week, a University of Sheffield graduate and a Mini MBA in Marketing alumna. I understand not just how to write, but why certain words work harder than others. Alongside my copywriting work, I'm also a published journalist. My work includes a featured interview with the co-founders of the first Scottish design studio to receive B Corp status, and an exclusive conversation with Alex Giles, who created the 2026 Brit Awards identity. I grew up with The Famous Five, The Faraway Tree and The Secret Garden. I love to read, I love to write, and I find people genuinely fascinating. Maybe it's that curiosity that drives everything I do in this job. If you're looking for copy that sounds like you on your best day, drop me a message.
