My Story

THE BEGINNING

When I was 4 years old I wrote a descriptive story about a little blackbird eating a fat juicy blackberry. My teacher was so impressed that she showed my story to the whole school. It sparked a lifelong love of writing which has remained with me ever since.

I gained a BA Hons. in Communication and Linguistics at Cardiff University, before moving to London to seek out those elusive streets of gold. For five years I worked in a film editing house in Soho which gave me invaluable insight into the world of advertising and provided a strong foundation for my future creative career.

THE CATALYST

The golden streets of London turned out to be pure fable, so I turned my focus onto golden sands instead. Moving to Cornwall really kick started my vocation as a writer and helped me to better understand the power of language.

I began working at a luxury holiday home company and was quickly promoted to Marketing Manager, a position I held for six years. Writing evocatively about beautiful properties and telling the story of the brand ignited my passion for marketing. I was instrumental in steering the brand into the thriving multi-million pound business it is today, and I realised that copywriting and marketing was where my true talents lay.

Inspired by my love of interior design, I started to write on a freelance basis for high-end interiors magazines. Interviewing homeowners from all over the world and retelling their home renovation stories for beautiful magazines was a writer’s dream come true. This experience gave me the confidence that I could go it alone and use my passion for writing to make a living as a freelance copywriter.

THE FUTURE

I have now been a freelance copywriter for over ten years and have finely honed my creative copywriting skills to expand into the fast-paced world of digital marketing. Specialising in Search Engine Optimisation has given me a niche which means I’m now incredibly busy working with international brands who have something big to say, as well as giving a voice to small businesses looking to be big businesses.

Content is the golden thread which connects your brand with the digital world. Let me help you to weave your story so that I can help your business to shine as brightly as it deserves.

Who Am I?

Dolly Parton fan, beach lover, rainbow chaser, star gazer, word fanatic, interiors enthusiast, music devotee.

I live in North Cornwall with my little family and wrangle my time between writing, cooking, mummying and beaching. I love getting my hands dirty tending to the beautiful four acre community wildflower meadow at the bottom of the hill, although my ridiculous fear of spiders sometimes limits how dirty I get. I have a passion for fundraising and charity work, running a music festival for four years which raised over £10k for CoppaFeel. I also once bounced five miles on a space hopper wearing a giant boob.

I’m happiest when reading the weekend papers, drinking coffee and listening to great music. I feel incredibly fortunate to have the freedom to be able to write for a living, as there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.

As the great Dolly Parton once said, “Writing to me is as natural as getting up and cooking breakfast”
