Q1. Where are you from?
Southport, U.K.
Q2. How did you discover copywriting?
I always knew copywriting existed, but I didn’t consider it as a job for myself until I saw someone advertising for a writer on Facebook.
Q3. What forms of copy do you write?
I mostly write blogs and articles. I also work on books. I love it!
Q4. What are your favorite niches to write in?
Marketing, business, law and food.
Q5. What is the #1 lesson you've learned as a copywriter?
To ask questions. I don’t want to ever provide a piece of writing that isn’t up to my clients standards. If I am ever unsure, or need further clarification, I always ask questions first. There is nothing wrong with asking. Your clients will be so happy you did.
Q6. Who is your favorite copywriter & why?
Jasmin Alić. He seems so kind and shares so much knowledge. I love that he doesn’t gatekeep!
Q7. Do you have any recent wins to share?
My client base is full of people who truly appreciate my work and expertise. And they understand how valuable a copywriter is, meaning they pay me what I am worth :)
Q8. What would you say to a prospective client who wants to hire you?
Finding a writer can be a journey. Some writers may not work for your business, and that’s okay. This is why I only accept clients who I know I can provide exceptional content for. If I don’t love what I do, my clients won’t love my work. I want your business to succeed, and if I can help you do this – I will!
Q9. What is a good email address for prospective clients to contact you?
