As an experienced freelance copywriter, copy editor and proofreader, I can help you improve your communication - not only by using the right words, but by using the best words. Words that inspire your customers to choose your business, buy your products, and hire your services.

Great copy can help you achieve your marketing goals and sales targets - such as increasing sales of a new product or service, raising awareness of your business in a crowded market, or positioning your company as a leader in your field. By using strong, consistent messaging that your target audience can relate to - and which inspires them to take action.
Find out how I provide marketing support, web copy and case study copywriting for a global IT company.

Hardworking words get your business noticed - improving your reputation, growing your customer base, and increasing sales. The opposite is also true. Mistakes, jargon and confused copy can harm your business - damaging your brand, losing you clients and sales, and costing you money. Clever copy and sparkling content help you stand out from the crowd and give you a competitive edge.

Sarah is a supportive and generous mentor who has provided a helping hand through challenging times. I was experiencing pressure from all directions during the pandemic, and Sarah helped me break the biggest issues down into more manageable tasks, and to navigate a path through them. She is also well organised, empathetic, a good listener and insightful.

Sarah is a fantastic mentor. I left my session with her feeling so much more confident and sure about the direction I need to go with my own business. She's a brilliant listener and has so much advice to share. I'll definitely be booking in again for another session. Highly recommended!

I worked with Sarah in my role as Director of Communications at a national charity. Sarah worked on copy editing and proofreading a key document for us as an organisation and did a brilliant job. She was responsive, professional and her attention to detail and copywriting skills are second to none. Would highly recommend her to any organisation looking for comms support.

What a dream it is to work with people like Sarah. It's easy to say someone loves their job, but Sarah is made for what she does. These days, great writers are hard to come by especially in the business world. Sarah worked on our whole website development, tackling technical issues and making them understandable (and even fun!). Myself (Marketing) and the MD spent no longer than 2 hours briefing the entire 30+ page project and Sarah was able to turn it into exactly what we needed. We threw her some challenges but she never faltered and consistently delivered high quality work in a timely manner

What a pro! Sarah is what we had been looking for for a few years now in our business. We're all incredibly busy delivering services for our own clients and none of us specialize in marketing or creative writing. We can of course describe our own business but not as good as Sarah!. We have multiple service offerings and we sent them through for "making great". Sarah did not fail. The content we sent though was very IT technical in nature and some were long and complex but Sarah didn't miss a beat. She grasped the concepts and turned around many beautiful pieces on time and on budget that we can

Sarah has been the most amazing find! I had spent far too long struggling to create the copy for my business website when I was lucky enough to hear about Sarah’s brilliance as a copy writer and asked if she could help me.
Sarah transformed my website, bringing it to life and was a delight to work with. I’ve had a massive increase in new clients… since my new website went live which is wonderful.
I was very impressed with Sarah’s marketing knowledge, how full of ideas she was and how quickly she had a grasp of my business & who my clients are. Sarah is a true genius

Sarah immediately understood our needs and what we wanted to convey with our new website for Painswick Rococo Garden. She has a breadth of knowledge across copywriting, SEO, marketing and design, skilfully employing them all to create hardworking and engaging copy. Getting an independent, fresh perspective on your company is an extremely valuable… exercise and Sarah really helped to ensure we were considering the needs of our customers. Sarah has been a delight to work with: very friendly, highly professional, delivering on time and exceeding expectations. We're very excited to be launching

Sarah was in a position to help me, at short notice, to work through the copy for 2 promotional posters. I can honestly say that Sarah's approach, her professionalism and her friendly nature, set me at ease immediately! She managed to just get me, my business and what I was aiming to achieve in a way that I knew she was a safe pair of hands. I'll be using Sarah for all of my future copy needs including working on my website. She makes it easy to work with her and when the pressure was building with my deadlines, she was an absolute godsend.

Sarah was friendly and enthusiastic about my project, she 'got' what my business is about what clients were needing help with. As well as writing new copy for my website Sarah tweaked some questions and offered additional feedback on how to improve the 'customer journey' . She has been a pleasure to work with, I'm sure I'll be calling on her services again.

Sarah did a superb job on rewriting my website when I rebranded. I was stuck for inspiration and Sarah came up with a fresh and engaging approach which has resulted in increased website visitors and positive feedback. She's the definition of professional providing good communications and completing work well within deadlines. On a separate note, it's worth checking out her great Cotswold photos on Instagram.😃
