I am a reliable (and qualified*) copywriter and editor, specialising in education and B2B marketing. I can help you keep to your deadlines and achieve your marketing goals, whether your project is large or small.
This is the bit where I’m supposed to profess my love of words, my appreciation of literature and my life-long adoration for the English language.
I’m not going to do that though, as it isn’t true. I don’t particularly like words. I’ve spent most of my career editing words out. Making copy more concise by deleting whole paragraphs. I don’t scour my encyclopaedic knowledge of English to find the perfect word. I choose the simplest language I can think of. I delete words with abandon that are more than a couple of syllables, or that isn’t plain English.
Although qualified to diploma level in both marketing and copywriting, I haven’t studied English since senior school. I’m a science graduate and I have learned to make the complicated simple; the dry more interesting; the difficult easy. I will use all these skills when working on your marketing project. Whether I’m working on your brochure, website, case studies or editing your marketing materials, I will do my best to convey your message as simply and concisely as I can.
I am a former university Marketing & Communications Manager turned freelance copywriter and editor. I have worked in and with big universities (such as King’s College London, LSE Enterprise and The London School of Economics and Political Science), as well as with executive education and schools. Check out my LinkedIn profile for my qualifications and experience and my FAQs to see how I work.
I'm not a digital nomad. I don't work from the beach on a beautiful tropical island (I wish). I am based in London, so I'm available when you need me. If you’re looking for a young, zany copywriter for your exciting new brand then I’m probably not the copywriter for you. If you’re looking for a reliable and knowledgeable professional then please get in touch.
“I worked with Catherine when she was volunteering at the Children’s Heart Federation providing us with crucial administration, events and fundraising support. Catherine was a joy to work with and had a positive, self-motivated can-do attitude, was a pragmatic thinker and highly proficient with computer packages.”
