Meaningful copy and content for creative and purpose-driven businesses that's blended with SEO know-how

Creative and purpose-driven businesses are built on passion. A passion to make the world just that little bit better, whether it's through making beautiful objects, helping people's physical or mental wellbeing, or putting people and planet first.

Like you, I want my business to make a difference. I believe in the power of words for good, and I'd love to help your creative or purpose-led business really soar.

Before I became a writer, I worked in the third sector for arts organisations and young people's charities. Written by Helen brings together the two parts of my career, writing for socially conscious businesses who want to make a difference.

Think of me as your personal wordsmith and writing cheerleader, on hand to help you showcase your amazing creative or purpose-driven business with the world.

I've worked with some wonderful people and businesses, including a holistic therapist and astrologer, a counsellor, a brand photographer, a fertility nutritionist and an ethical sales company.

These are all very different products and services but they're united by a common theme: wanting to use their talents to help other people and make the world just that little bit better.

Let's work together

Written by Helen brand values

Purpose- and planet-led

Just like your business, I want mine to help other people. I try to make the world a better place for now and for the next generation, treading as lightly as I can and valuing community, connection and sustainability. It's how I conduct my personal life so it makes sense I want my business to look like this too.

Accessible

I believe that communication should be accessible to all, so I always structure my website copy so it can be read by screen readers. I've also ensured my own website is as accessible as possible, including its text structure, contrast colours and alt text. I'm happy to advise you on this for your website.

Always learning

I've got SEO certification from HubSpot, and I'm constantly updating my knowledge, from writing and copywriting skills to SEO best practice. This means I can create even more effective copy and content for you.

Writing with integrity

I love to create genuine relationships with the people I work with, and the copy I write for them reflects this. I don't use manipulative or exploitative copywriting tactics, and I always write with integrity.

Working with a copywriter for creative and purpose-driven businesses

When I'm not writing for creative and purpose-driven businesses, I also work with wedding businesses. As a former wedding magazine editor, I love the passion, creativity and friendliness of people in this industry, and the fact that they have a similar desire to use their skills and enthusiasm to help other people.

I also write and edit for lovely craft and lifestyle magazines such as Simply Crochet, The World of Cross Stitching and Simply Christmas. You can read more about what else I get up to on my online portfolio and my LinkedIn profile.

When I'm not writing, I'm hanging out with my husband and son (surrounded by Lego and bikes), pottering in my garden and allotment, hanging upside down doing trapeze or aerial yoga, swimming in the sea or my local community-run pool, enjoying a book and a coffee, or cycling along the river.
