Grow your brand with great
writing and clear language

Quick, accurate, clear, smart

Content / copywriting

From simple copywriting to think pieces - anything that will make your brand sing. It’s about having something worth saying and conveying that in a clear and lively way. People talk about ‘storytelling’ – but that’s just a new word for the timeless skill of clear writing.

Editing

During my 30 years in the writing and editing business, I’ve covered a lot of ground. The pressure of strict deadlines on daily newspapers made me a fast, accurate editor. I can spot a typo at a thousand paces and work quickly and accurately.

Subject matter expert

My expertise includes: food and drink, sport, angling, health and wellbeing, features, travel, technology (especially for higher education and blue tech), business and transport. So, whatever you may need edited,
the answer’s yes.

What’s next?

Let’s talk. I can give you an hourly rate and / or an estimated total price for the job. I won’t start any work until given the go-ahead. I’m quick AND accurate, so in the case of a sole trader with only three or four pages on a website, it may be cheaper than you think.
