Grow your brand with great
writing and clear language
Quick, accurate, clear, readable and 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, health and wellbeing, features, travel, technology (especially for higher education and blue tech), business and transport. So, if you need something edited on, say, the Internet of Things, the answer’s yes.

What’s next?
Let’s talk. I’ll give you an hourly rate and estimated total cost. I won’t start any work until given the go-ahead. In the case of a sole trader with only three or four pages on their website, it may take only an hour or so to give it a thorough check.
