I help brands who give a damn about all the right things sell their offerings authentically.

Here on a mission to infuse the world with words that woo*

I'm laura,

WELCOME TO MY CORNER OF THE INTERNET

*not to be confused with woo-woo

fancy seeing you here

You’ll find me emotional at the final reveal of garments on the Great British Sewing Bee or trying to keep up with my kids on the mountain.

when i'm not helping good souls change the world through words..

I wasn’t always a copywriter desperate to rid the world of inauthentic sales pitches.

I used to wear a word stifling straight jacket. Writing moonlighting on the side of my Medical Ultrasound career. Words strangulated by the Harvard referencing system.

So imagine the joy I felt when I discovered copywriting. It was the perfect mix of science and creative magic. I’d finally found a career I was made for.

Word science!

I immediately vowed never to don a pair of hospital scrubs again.

But I had a dirty little secret…

i thought selling sucked!

I could write like the best of them but writing isn't the same thing as selling is it? And your copy is there to sell what you have to offer.

I’ve written for brands around the world and i've learnt one thing. It’s the brands with the most human words and messaging that are the most successful. 

Making people feel seen, heard and nurtured is the key to copy that has people willingly parting with their money.

And that is where the alchemy science of good copywriting comes in, my friend!

The formula to copy that truly creates gold for your brand?

A mix of strategy, science, psychology topped with a healthy serving of creativity

If writing copy sends you into an automatic procrastination spin with a sudden and desperate need to reorganise your underwear drawer... 

I’m here to help!

Your genuine excitement and curiosity in getting to know me and my business vision made it so much fun and easy to create the right words.
