Good writing is crucial to your business success

Good content will make your business more profitable. We’ll help you write succinct emails, clear reports, engaging newsletters and much more.
We can train you to do do this – or do do it for you.

TRAINING

We’ll teach you.

Our courses for individuals and companies will help you improve your writing the minute you get back to your desk. “Be a Better Writer in a Day” is our all-singing, all-dancing course. We also offer shorter workshops and specialist options including grammar, PR training and one-to-one coaching.

CONTENT

We’ll write it for you.

Rather leave it to the professionals? We’re happy to help. We’ve got more than half a century of writing experience between us, so it’s fair to say we know how to string a sentence together. We’ll write anything you need, e.g. newsletters, articles, press releases, brochures and blog posts.

EDITING

We’ll improve it for you

Have you got something that’s nearly there but feels like it’s not quite delivering the big punch it needs to? Does it need to be tightened, sharpened, cut or just generally made better? We’ve smartened up everything from multi-million pound rail franchise bids to short conference reports.

Do you need to write at work?

We can train you to write effective, clear and succinct emails, blog posts, newsletters and more. We run open and in-house courses for:

  • Individuals
  • Companies
  • Charities
  • Public organisations

If your writing is wordy, lengthy, confusing or full of spelling mistakes, you’ll look sloppy and unprofessional. We’ll train you how to make your documents crisp and engaging.
But if you’d rather call in the experts to write your brochures, blog posts and press releases, we can do that too. And we’re rather good at it. We’re also fast, accurate, reasonably priced and extremely pleasant to deal with.

Testimonials

You may recall that you wrote some brilliant copy for a new website we were planning to launch. It has been a long time in the making, but I thought you might want to know that your prose has been a massive influence  in the way that our website has been formed. I’m pleased to say that it finally went live on Thursday.

I just wanted to say a very long overdue and big thank you for the help you gave me. Whenever there is a conversation around development of website content or other marketing materials, your name and skillsets feature prominently.

I sincerely hope that we can find ways in which to work together again.

Jim Mathieson, Director. CloudConnX

Judy is a wonderful copywriter. Writing copy for businesses is not easy but Judy is brilliant at taking what we give her and creating something accurate that speaks to business owners in our voice.

She has written the copy for the last few years Ride the Wave business support programme which helped it to exceed all its targets for engagement. She has for the last few years written our Chamber breakfasts copy which introduces our speakers and which I always look forward to receiving and publishing. Judy is also a pleasure to work with.

Sarah Springford, Director of Brighton & Hove Chamber of Commerce.

A very belated, but huge thank you nonetheless, for last week’s workshop.  It was brilliant and I have already put some key exercises into practice and it has helped so much.  Namely, the cutting down on text for press releases; making introductions more succinct and a ‘less is more’ approach. So thank you very much for a very enlightening and constructive course.  Highly worthwhile.

Sarah Fiedosiuk, Head of Media/PR, Group B Strep Support

Thank you again for providing such an excellent, perfectly pitched course. I really appreciated all the work you’d done to make your examples relevant. We’ve had great feedback from the team and loads of enthusiasm about putting everything they’ve learned into practice.
