    Hi, I’m Carys, the founder of This Girl Talks. My career has been shaped by a passion for communication, storytelling, and service. Beyond my professional work, I volunteer with Mountain Rescue, responding to emergencies in some of the UK’s most challenging environments, and serve as a Magistrate, making decisions that help shape and support my local community. I spent 8 years working in professional sport, a fast-paced, high-pressure world that taught me the importance of clarity and connection in communication. From there, I embarked on a remarkable 16-year career with the Royal Family, crafting speeches, briefings, and video messages for His Majesty King Charles III and the Prince and Princess of Wales. This experience sharpened my skills in creating impactful, polished content for a wide range of audiences and occasions. Now, through This Girl Talks, I’m bringing my expertise to businesses and brands, offering services in copywriting, blogging, and social media content creation. Whether you’re looking to connect with your audience, share your story, or elevate your brand, I’m here to help make your words work harder for you. Let’s create something extraordinary together!

    I spent 16 years writing and editing for national newspapers, working on news, showbiz, diary, health and features. I left to train as a teacher and wrote extensively for the Times Educational Supplement before leaving the classroom to train in deaf communication. My specialisms are education and health. I'm a copywriter for an education website and I work for health websites and magazines. I spent 18 months writing about addiction for a rehab centre, so I'm pretty clued up on that. I've edited more than 50 non-fiction books and I commission authors for Pen and Sword Books. I split my time between working as a lipspeaker (providing communication support for deaf and hard-of-hearing people who don't use sign language), editing books and copywriting. I occasionally do some journalism and I also run a craft and streetfood market.
