Specialising in nothing at all

I always imagined that over the page would organically evolve into a specialised business. I was wrong. Diversity has become my discipline.

As my clients' communications needs vary, so do my service offerings. We grow together. Long copy. Short copy. Everything in-between. I work across all professional copywriting genres:

  • copywriting - including development (from scratch) of themes, contention, key messages
  • copy editing - re-writing raw or existing text
  • concept development - getting creative
  • language/style development - tone, feel, a sensory perspective
  • copy polishing - finessing, tidying-up, enlivening
  • proofreading - the all-important technical stuff
  • consulting (on any of the above)


Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of my "specialties":

  • articles / editorial
  • case studies / project profiles / people profiles
  • advertising / direct marketing collateral
  • press releases
  • newsletters (internal, external, print or online)
  • web content
  • brochures / trade presenters / catalogues
  • reports
  • positioning statements (taglines, straplines)
  • proposals / rationales / presentations
  • interpretative signage
  • non-fiction manuscripts

If your project goes above and beyond my list, please call me to discuss. Perhaps I can point you in the direction of another professional or even propose a collaborative approach to bring together the specialist skills you need.

I genuinely enjoy a challenge and the opportunity to sink my teeth into something new.
