2020: a freelance copywriter’s year in review

What a tough and unsettling year it’s been for us all. I do hope you, your families and businesses have managed to weather the storm of 2020. Few seem to have escaped unscathed in one way or another, and the first lockdown in particular was a hugely worrying time when it felt as though every marketing budget and copywriting project…

2019 so far – an overdue copywriting update!

I’ve just noticed that it’s May already, and several months have somehow passed since I last penned a copywriting update. I will blame this oversight on the sheer volume of work I’ve been staying on top of! Highlights from my working year so far include:

Another season of writing hundreds of product descriptions for a big-name outdoor clothing brand
Product descriptions and…

December 2018 and January 2019 copywriting update

December was a short month with the Christmas holidays, and it was mostly taken up with writing product descriptions for one big brand, so I thought I’d combine last month’s update with this month’s.

Tonnes of product descriptions for a big brand of outdoor clothing
Website copy for a manufacturer of clothing…

August 2018 copywriting update

August is generally thought of as a quiet time of year, but not for this freelance copywriter! It’s been the busiest month of the year so far for me, and summer holidays are but an idle daydream for me. These are some of the things I’ve been working on this month…

A ten-day research project for an education provider
Product descriptions for…

July copywriting update

I moved house this month, and after much grappling with single-handedly assembling flatpack furniture I’m now based in the countryside near Oxford. I already work with quite a few local clients, but if you’re looking for a copywriter in Oxford then give me a shout! Amidst the upheaval of moving I’ve managed to keep to a hectic copywriting schedule, which…
