Creative copywriting is rooted in human connection, empathy and authenticity.

With a background in local news, I’ve got a nose for a good story and I know how to tell one.

I love engaging with people to help them find their unique voice; crafting compelling stories into great copy to elevate your brand or business.

I create an authentic, unique and relatable experience for your customers or clients through scroll-stopping copy that captivates and converts.

Together let’s write words that make waves…

Hi, I’m Lucy, a creative copywriter living by the sea in the Ocean City of Plymouth in Devon.

ABOUT

I have over 20 years’ media experience working here in the beautiful Westcountry, starting out as a daily newspaper journalist before moving into magazine editing, a spot of PR and going freelance as a copywriter after my son was born.

Writing has always been my passion, and I love storytelling. With my background in local news, I’ve got a nose for a good story, and I know how to tell one.

I get excited about discovering the details; engaging with people to help find their voice, and crafting compelling stories into great copy to elevate their brand or business.

My happy place is most definitely by the sea: you can usually find me, year round, at the beach or in the water.

I love a strong coffee, a good book, and swimming in the sea, not necessarily in that order!

I left a 9-5 day job to pursue my passion and become a full-time independent creative, crafting story-driven copywriting that’s a Shore Thing.

Why copywriting?

*It’s more than just crafting cool sentences.

My journey began in the newsroom, where as a reporter I saw firsthand the power of words to inform, inspire, and even ignite change. But I also saw how easily messages could be diluted, distorted, or lost in the noise.

That’s my ‘why’. To bring clarity and authenticity to an increasingly loud digital world. I’m driven by a deep belief that good writing matters, In a sea of clickbait and misleading content, I want to help businesses cut through the clutter and connect with their audience of a genuine level.

Your ‘why’ is just as important. It’s the heart of your brand story, the spark that sets you apart, sharing it builds trust, fosters connections and resonates with people who need your unique voice.

My mission is to helo you uncover and articulate that ‘why’ through compelling copy. Because your experiences, your passion, and your unique perspective are what make your story unforgettable.

Let’s work together to tell it to the world.
