HOW I CAN HELP YOU
In a nutshell: with any kind of copywriting - whatever the channel, whatever the purpose, whatever the subject.
-
brand, tone of voice & messaging: workshops and guidelines
-
optimised web content
-
straplines
-
fundraising pieces (direct mail, major donor, corporate, individual giving, legacy & more)
-
ads
-
copy for exhibitions, films & scripts
-
email

blogs and think pieces

I can help you tell stories, show the impact you're having, inform, sell, fundraise and more. I can turn any long-winded and jargon-heavy copy into something that jumps off the page and nudges your audiences into doing what you want them to do.
ABOUT ME
I'm Helen. I’ve been doing good things with words for over 15 years: copywriting, managing communications teams and running campaigns at high profile organisations including Rough Guides, Penguin, Plan International, Marie Stopes, Blood Cancer UK, Cancer Council and the Royal Free Hospital. I used to be a Communications Manager, so I 100% get how organisations work and what you need.
A BIT MORE ABOUT ME
I usually work with charities and other public sector organisations, with a focus on health and international development. Some of the things I've written about include girls' rights, disaster response, family planning, cancer research, outdoor education for young people, diversity & inclusion, plumbing, childcare and electric radiators ... yes really.
If you work with me you'll get creativity, simplicity and integrity. I'm available for freelance work on a project-by-project or ongoing basis. I can work from home, park myself in your office or just pop in to see you from time to time. I'm based in Edinburgh and travel UK-wide for client meetings in normal times.
