creative copywriting that sells / word nerdery that helps you get your message across
Word nerd. Copywriter. Linguistic connoisseur. Corrector of wordy cock-ups. Bookworm. Whatever you want to call me, I just love words. I love writing them, I love reading them, and I love correcting them (but I do that part gently, I promise).
I also love helping business owners get their
message across.
I'm based in Paisley, near Glasgow in Scotland. I work with local businesses, UK-based clients and international customers alike. So if you need some support with copywriting, editing, proofreading, or making your words magic, please get in touch.
As a recovering perfectionist, I'm quite the obsessive when it comes to doing things right. I get things done to the best possible standard, and I've taught myself or undergone professional training so I can deliver my services at the highest level possible.
Having a way with words has always come naturally to me – perhaps my cockney ancestors passed down the gift of the gab.
I'm delighted to work with words every day to help other people get their message across in a way that reflects their personalities and goals.
My Latest Projects

CHEEKY FOOD COMPANY
I had the pleasure of working on copywriting for the packaging of a new food product created by Cheeky Food Company. The business makes food that's filled with flavour and soul, so capturing that personality in the copy was a fun project to be involved in!
I can't wait to see the finalised packaging on supermarket shelves soon.

EVE PEARSON – AUTHOR
I've been working with Eve for a few years now, and we make a great team. She writes her urban fantasy novels, and I edit them; focusing on proofreading, consistency, readability, flow and all of those magical things that make a story work.
The latest book in Eve Pearson's series was released in September 2021, and you can check out her work here.
