B2B Copywriter and Content Writer

About Me

I'm a Freelance Copywriter and Content writer and have been writing for businesses for over a decade. I began my writing journey whilst in college (between high school and university here in the UK) and have not looked back. 

I began writing for (predominantly) tourism, heritage, and culture industries, with a sprinkle of education. As time went on and I went to university, I began writing for B2B and Technology companies. 

I graduated in 2016 with a BA (Hons) in Tourism Management and focused on Marketing. I really enjoy the challenge of writing about complex products, ideas, services that focus on solving the customer problem in a way that shows them instead of telling them. 

I continued my education, and in 2017, I graduated from Keele University with a Master of Research in Social Science (with a focus on Psychology). I've used this to help me inform my research and understand the buyer mentality in more detail. 

You see, we don't buy from a rational mindset; it's an emotional response, and to truly tap into this, we need to understand what issues our buyers are facing and how we can bridge the gap to solve this. 

I have discovered over time a fantastic way to help businesses increase their sales and increase credibility is through this beautiful way of writing. I have written for Travel, Technology, Education, Renewable Energy, Finance, B2B... the list goes on. But I always enjoy what I'm creating.

Once I finished my Masters, I completed a School Direct PGCE and began a fruitful teaching career. However, by 2019, the thrill of Freelance Writing had sunk deep into me, and I just had to continue full-time. 

Why do I love writing so much?

Well, to write useful and engaging content, you need to understand the topic and people. To make sure that you know the subject completely takes research. It's like conducting your own investigation, and once finished, you then have the challenge of writing articles clearly and in an easy-to-understand way.

I'm also quite nosey, and I love writing compelling Case Studies because of this. I get to conduct interviews to determine how a customer feels about how a product or service works for them. I get to provide the words used in social proof to help my clients increase their business opportunities.

I believe that joy comes from learning; you see, I love to do research. In fact, I love it so much that I have been a student in one form or another my whole life. Whether it be through university, self-teaching, or short courses - there is rarely a time I am not learning.

Have any questions?

I typically price my services on a project-by-project basis; you will see that my pricing is a ball-park figure that is typically the lowest I will quote on average. Because of this, we should have a chat and discuss your project to do everything I can to make sure you're happy.

The key to success is to tell your company story to attract your (perfect) customers. See my portfolio for my broad range of examples.

Blog: What Is Cel Animation, And How Does It Work?

When you think of animation, you might instantly think of 3D design or CGI (Computer Generated Imagery). These are the staples of modern animation. However, there’s still room for the more traditional methods of animation. Cel animation forms the basis of all conventional hand-drawn or 2D animation and can be seen in almost every classic cartoon of the 20th century. Today, much of it can be automated by design software, but it still forms a critical part of the motion design work we do every day

Blog: What Is Brand Storytelling And Why Is It Important?

Your marketing efforts are to increase interest in and sales of your services and products, so it stands to reason that your marketing materials will be directly responsible for your customers’ interest in them, right? Actually, no. We live in an age where communication is instant, information is readily available, and people want to know that they are buying from a trusted source. This has led to consumers becoming ever more wary of feeling like they are being sold to. More importantly, with

How Smart Technology Can Help Stop Illnesses Spreading In Schools

Even before the pandemic, there was a high chance that your pupils and staff would get sick during term-time. Schools have always had a reputation for being the ideal breeding ground for illnesses caused by viruses and bacteria. This could have way more to do with your school’s environment than pupils not washing their hands properly. Let’s explore some of the reasons behind the infection rates being so high in schools and how using Smart Plant Systems can help you to reduce this.

Blog: Why Does Poor Indoor Air Quality Make Us Sick?

Have you ever been at work and suffered a headache? You’ve probably put it down to the lighting. But there is one possible cause that a lot of us don’t think of: Air Quality. Poor air quality means that particles, bacteria, and viruses make their way into the bloodstream when we breathe in, causing us to become ill.

Podcast: I'll Take That Win

"Hello, and welcome to the I'll Take That Win podcast with your host, Steven Westwood, reminding you that to achieve that dream, it takes Just One Step. So last week, we looked at fear of failing, fear of failure. We all experience it. This week I would like to talk more about Imposter syndrome. So imposter syndrome is an internal experience. It is a thought process that someone might go through if they are afraid that they are not as competent as other people to perform the same task."

5 Qualities You Should Look For In A Client (as a Freelance Writer)

I’ve been a freelance writer for over a decade now, and I must say, the journey has been epic. I’ve been lucky to get clients that I absolutely love working with. But, things haven’t always run smoothly. Have you ever: Accepted a job that barely pays so that you can gain “experience” and pay your dues? Had a client refuse to pay you or even ghost you after you submitted your work? Felt that you’re not good enough to freelance because of the way your client has mistreated you?
