UK Copywriters Directory - Content design

  • PRO
    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.

    Need 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.)? Can you be tempted out of hiring any of the other writers on this site by the promise of a 'free consultation' (i.e. quick phone chat)? Let's talk! Here's what I can do for you: 1/ Websites. 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 * 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. * Done a whole load of other stuff I can't remember right now ;) 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, Jan 2024 "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, July 2024 "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 – Jan 2024 Check this out if you found yourself here after falling down a rabbit hole and wondering what does a freelance copywriter do? .

    Hi. Hey. Hello. Finding the right words is tricky. People pay me to play with words. Because words are important. Words can confuse. Raise a smile. Paint a picture. Cause offence, anger. Make you switch off or zone out. Stir emotion. Spark a memory. Engage. Educate. I help brands, clients and small businesses get their message across to the people that need to hear it. I add a human touch, so good ideas don’t go to waste. And in a way that doesn’t make them sound like a corporate robot. Choosing the right words is an art. But more than that, they can help you stand out from your competitors, shape relationships with your customers, even save you pennies (and pennies make pounds). ---------- Kind words... “the sort of mind that I imagine must be able to put together a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle” Leigh is a fab writer. I was lucky enough to manage her while we were working with a large financial company. And during that time, I regularly heard about how she was a solid wordsmith. But also that she was able to absorb and somehow remember the intricacies of the industry. She has the sort of mind that I imagine must be able to put together a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle in her head. But instead of a jigsaw, it's a thousand letters. And she's making sure they all fit together. Lewis Dowling – writer, storyteller, consultant

    Congratulations. You’ve decided to read my profile! In copywriting circles, getting the right sort of attention is half the battle. The other half is what I’m much better at; writing the right sort of words. Words that help people understand ideas, businesses and products (and take the right kind of action). Clients large and small Over the years, I’ve written car ads for Porsche, social posts for Bombay Sapphire and entire websites for the RAF. Big brands are often great fun to write for. What I really love is working with small businesses; seeing the smiles cross my clients’ faces as I bring their dream project to life with a few well chosen words. Tone of voice projects are my favourite, and I’ve recently enjoyed collaborating closely with clients such as biomass energy firm Innasol and pest control startup Spotta to get their brand language perfectly tuned for their audience. My skills I can turn my hand to: Websites Long and short form copy ads Brand Tone of Voice Documents Emails Leaflets and brochures Banner headlines Social Posts App and interface copy TV scripts Content scripts Brand and company names Packaging copy Point of sale copy Dating profile copy (that’s a joke, but I’m happy to try…) I’m also one half of a copywriting duo, as my wife Laura is a very talented (and outspoken) wordsmith too. Our copywriting agency folio is online at www.tmcmcopy.co.uk Recent satisfied customers ‘We picked TMCM out of 5 other agencies and were not disappointed. They understood very quickly our challenges and answered very creatively. The result is beyond our expectations. Thanks again!’ Julien Lescure, Founder of Chrome Carbon ‘TMCM are super quick, when they can be and job allows, and I have found the costs very reasonable for the excellent high level service they deliver. I am always satisfied!’ Phil Sills, Photographer and Director - Phil Sills Photography Contact Details Ready to get the right words right?

    ** Your message can be your superpower ** If you can distil why your work is different into a few words your clients connect with, lead generation and marketing get so much easier. And when you're running a creative business, almost nothing is easy. The only problem is that while you can do it for others, it's impossible to explain what makes your work unique. Even great writers struggle with this. That's why, through working with over 420 brands, I've honed a process to develop messaging you love and that generates leads. The first step is to unpick everything in a 2.5-hour workshop, during which we'll examine every aspect of your current business. The aim is to surface new ideas and help you see things in a new light. You'll get a strategy with recommendations you can implement yourself and options for moving forward with me. The workshop and strategy fee is only £500 ex VAT and can be applied to any project. I have tonnes of testimonials and have worked with brands of all sizes, from freelancers to Facebook. I'm a mum of 2 teenagers, a grey tabby and a chocolate labrador, and I love working with smart people to take their work to another level. To see if it's a fit, book a quick call to chat about it: https://calendly.com/inkspiller/15min Here's how this process has helped other creatives crack their messaging: "I knew I needed a fresh perspective as I was going round in circles trying to nail it on my own. I have so much more clarity now and am excited rather than daunted" - Helen Bridal, The Linery "Anna understood exactly who we are and solidified it in beautiful copy. Now our whole team explain what we do in the same way. Even potential clients repeat our messaging back to us in emails" - Daniel Wigham, StudioXAG "After working with Anna, we're confident in who we are and how to talk about ourselves. We have messaging we can copy and paste everywhere." - Sarah Walters, Director, Things Made Public P.S. Here's my site if you want to see any work or more reviews: www.inkspiller.co.uk
