A little bit about me

‘You picked the hardest job in marketing.’ So said my first ever Creative Director. His reasoning: ‘No-one would dream of asking to take over a designer’s mouse. But because everyone can pick up a pen, they think they can write.’

Fortunately, that’s not been my own experience. Good writing sells – and today’s clients know it.

What they don’t always know, understandably, is how to achieve it themselves, which is where I can help.

I’ve written for agencies and from client-side, for private, public and third sector, and I have seen first-hand the difference it’s made. Not simply to a business’s bottom line but to public perception, colleague morale, service user uptake, stakeholder support, you name it.

Good writing sells, absolutely, but it can also achieve so much more.

What you can expect when working with ‘Nicely said.’
Yours truly
Pass me a project and you can trust that it’ll be me and me alone who works on it. That way, you'll know exactly what quality and service level to expect each time.
On time
Once we’ve talked through the project and agreed on a delivery date, you can be sure I’ll meet it. I’m good for my word – quite literally.
On budget
The fee you approve is the fee you’ll pay. Unless you ask to add to the project scope, in which case I’ll give you a revised fee upfront. Either way, no surprises.

Value for money
I’m not the cheapest writer and I’m not most expensive (a girl can dream). But if you’re looking for great value, then to steal from Goldilocks, I’m ‘just right’.
