Could I be the Guildford copywriter for you?
Choosing a Guildford copywriter sounds like it should be easy. But it’s not as straightforward as you might think.
Here’s some information about me, and how well we may (or may not) work together.
Laura really takes the time to get to know you, and your brand tone. She’s always proactive, comes up with so many ideas, and always turns things around quickly. She’s professional, friendly and just brilliant!

What do I write about?
I love to write for professional services, SMEs and HR tech companies. That said, variety is the spice of life, and if you take a look at my portfolio, you’ll see I’ve written for a wide variety of businesses, both local to Guildford and Surrey, and further afield. Curious to know if I can write for your business? Let’s have a quick call to chat things through.
Will you like my style?
I write in an approachable and familiar style that sounds professional. It’s a style that works well for businesses that want to show their human side without sounding too try-hard.
If your business is uber-fashionable, cutting-edge or cool, you’ll need a freelance copywriter who suits your style too. And that’s not me. I’m not cool anymore and struggle to write in the way you need. #truestory
Will this Guildford copywriter suit you, your team and your business?
I’m friendly and dedicated. You say you want something for next Monday, you can bet I’ll be chasing you for feedback the Wednesday before. My corporate background means I’m always on time and love a project plan.
I ask questions, I send you ideas, I try to be as helpful as is humanly possible. If you prefer to be left alone we’re not well suited.
As a freelance copywriter, good relationships with my clients are hugely important to me; so tell me all about you and the things you like. For what it’s worth I like pottering in my garden, faffing around with my houseplant collection and spontaneous trips to the seaside.
Do we have similar values?
I have certain exclusions. I don’t write about gambling, legal (or illegal) highs, cigarettes or vapes.
My feminist principles mean I support people of all genders, preferences and backgrounds.
My experience and that of close friends and family with health and disability challenges have improved my understanding and empathy towards those living with physical and mental health issues.
How soon do you want to work together?
As a freelance Guildford copywriter, I manage my time VERY carefully.
Occasionally you might get lucky and I’ll have a slot for your project in the week you call me. Otherwise, I operate a first-come, first-served list. I’m efficient, and so long as you have a reasonable deadline and a responsive working style, you can trust I’ll meet your deadline.
I have children and work around their school hours and school holidays. This means I’m less flexible during the peak holiday seasons. But I deliver against my commitments and get your work to you on mutually agreed deadlines.
How much does a freelance copywriter cost?
My day rate for freelance writing is £600. Yes, you can find cheaper. You can also find much more expensive.
Because here’s the thing. It’s not about talking to your customers. It’s about getting them to listen to you. My intuitive approach and responsive, thorough and friendly working style means I make many brands and business owners very pleased indeed. Working with me might be the best investment you make!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Laura for a year or so now, during which she’s helped us write product descriptions, a tone of voice guidelines and buying guides. Above all, we’ve been so impressed with Laura’s ability to excel in anything we set her, including tricky pieces! And, of course, her ability to work in a timely, professional and friendly attitude. Laura would be a true asset for anyone and comes with our heartfelt recommendation. She’s an asset to the team!
