Trish in a few words
The short version:

I'm a well-aged word warrior with wide-ranging writing experience. I like a good tongue twister too. I whip up copy and concepts for happy clients in the UK, EU and North America. Poke around my portfolio to get to know me better.


The long version:

I’m a word warrior.

My 20+ years of storytelling spans working with award-winning creative agencies, charities, big international brands and ambitious startups – and a pair of disappearing turtles.

I’m based in Glasgow and I work locally and globally (virtually).

Choose me to get:

· Experience – 20+ years. Nope, not a vampire – just thriving.
· Versatility – Websites. Campaigns. Concepts. Case studies. Blogs. CTAs. US to UK copy conversion. Long copy. Microcopy. ToV. E-marketing. Ghostwriting. SEO copy. Social. Voiceover copy. UX copy. A/B copy. AI content creation. I’ve got you covered.
· Flexibility – daily or project-based rates. Your call.
· Reliability and results – clients love what I do. Many are repeat customers.

Intrigued? Great – let’s create something amazing together.


T&Cs:

--Payment: Due within 10 days of receiving my invoice.
--Revisions: One round is included at no additional cost.
--Communication: Feel free to contact me with questions via Malt or email. Once we have a contract in place, I’m available for Zoom or video calls too.
