UK Copywriters Directory

    Hi there, I’m Toby. I’m a senior copywriter and editor with 16 years’ experience. I’ve written for brands like bp, Heineken and VistaPrint, plus work for DC Comics and Liverpool FC. I can help you with writing emails, names and taglines, website content and UX copy. And if you already have the content – whether it’s AI generated or you’ve written it yourself – I can quickly edit it for clarity, style and tone of voice. My copywriting experience is in performance marketing and right now I’m working in the field of behavioural science. I help companies create campaigns that change behaviour. When it comes to copywriting and the creative process, I’m all about collaboration. The energy that comes from sparking ideas off other people makes me smile. A few facts about me: I can wiggle my ears, I eat the skin on kiwis, and when I’m really into my writing, my head tilts slightly to the right (apparently it means I’m using my left-brain - who knew?). You can check out my portfolio at tobycarrollcopy.com and get in touch at tobyocarroll@yahoo.co.uk Look forward to hearing from you, Toby

    Hi, I’m Lex. I’ve been helping brands find their voice and tell their stories for almost 15 years. I’ve worked with businesses of all shapes and sizes doing things like defining tone of voice and training people to use it, naming products and companies, work-shopping key messages, and copywriting for all kinds of things. Recently, I’ve set the tone for a fintech start-up, helped a very popular video game company define its voice, and named a couple of boozy businesses.

    I'm Chloe, and I work at mark-making*. I started while I was a student (MA Und. in Philosophy & English Literature), helping out a web developer pal with copy. He insisted that I could make a good living doing this work, and now, a couple of years on, it seems he was right. I'm interested in how content and copy help users around the web, and in the ever-changing fractal puzzle that is the email subject line. I make verbal assets with a creative team for new or re-imagined brands. It's exciting, and wonderfully fulfilling when we see them working hard out in the world. Biggest challenge so far? Web copy for a company of remote handling engineers that essentially put robots in disused reactors (but they wouldn't let me put it quite like that). Trading as Re:scrawl in collaboration with Moon Creative, I named and branded Grub (eatgrub.co.uk).

Hannah Rose

“I am at my best in the morning, so I try to schedule all creative tasks before lunch. If I’m struggling in the morning, I use the classic strategies of changing where I’m working from, taking a break, or exercising in the hope of a Eureka moment.”

Declan Morton, Copywriter.Declan Morton

“I’ve always enjoyed writing but I didn’t set up on my own account until 2019. At that point I had been teaching for nearly two decades and had become frustrated with the academy trust to which my then school belonged. I took a plunge and set up as a freelance writer.”

Jo Watson

“I wish we were all more honest when speaking to newer or younger copywriters and telling them what to expect in their career. It’s a hard job, it’s constantly evolving, and it’s still nowhere near as widely respected (as both an art and a science) as it should be.”

Abby King

“Let your work breathe. While it’s tempting to send over to the client once a piece is ready, I try to give it at least 24 hours (where time allows!) before I go back in, review and send.”
