A stunning printed brochure can set your business apart from the crowd in a world saturated with digital content. We’re all getting too many emails and ads, right?

As a specialist brochure copywriter, I can help you with high-quality print marketing that sparks interest and starts a conversation with your ideal customers.

Your copy will be written with speed readers in mind, with bold headlines, crisp language, and compelling calls to action…all perfectly paired with your design.

I can either work with your chosen designer and printer or recommend trusted partners I work with regularly.

Annual report copywriter

Annual reports are time-consuming to put together. So, why not outsource the copywriting, design and print to an experienced annual report copywriter?

I write words that tell your business story in a compelling way for stakeholders, partners, and employees. I can manage your project from concept to delivery, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

I’ve written and managed annual reports for FTSE 250 companies. I’m not fazed by tight deadlines or last-minute updates. I know this comes with the territory on annual reports!

Direct sales letters

Tired of sales letters being ignored? I write attention-grabbing letters that hook readers from the first line and keep them reading.

I can also help you with other parts of your marketing, including email campaigns, brochures, and web copy, keeping your content consistent and engaging.

Marketing your business can feel like a full-time job in itself. By handing your content over to me, you can take one more thing off your to-do list and get back to focusing on your clients, customers, and day-to-day business.

A few words from my lovely clients…

Karen is a master of concision – able to pare back the language to its essence but still to let it ‘sing’.

We really appreciated her thoroughness in checking facts and pushing us to be more robust in stating the actual value of our endeavours, rather than just trotting out details of delivery. We would thoroughly recommend Karen!

Karen did a great job writing copy for some new marketing materials and part of our website. She quickly got to grips with a technical proposal and provided us with clear, consistent content. As a result of her own research Karen thoughtfully challenged some of our assumptions and ideas which was extremely valuable.

We were working under considerable time pressure and the project grew in scope almost daily, despite which Karen was very flexible and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Karen’s services and look forward to working with her again.

Case Study

Bringing The Courtauld's world-leading art degree to new students

The Courtauld Institute of Art is a world-leading centre for the study of art history and conservation.

I was brought in to develop and write new content for the 2026/27 undergraduate prospectus. The original material, written by academics, was very detailed but also heavygoing – not always the easiest read for prospective students.

My task was to make the content more accessible without losing what makes the Courtauld distinctive. I simplified the language, tightened the structure and sharpened the key messages to appeal to a younger audience.

The new prospectus connects with prospective students on a more personal level and brings to life the many opportunities that await them at the Courtauld.

Following the success of this project, I’ve been asked to help with several follow-on projects.

Case Study

Sharing GO! Southampton's successes

As Southampton’s Business Improvement District, GO! Southampton champions local businesses to increase inward investment, support growth and build stronger communities.

GO! Southampton brought me in to help with their mid-term review. The goal was to raise awareness among stakeholders and local residents of the BID’s successes and achievements.

The team already had a rough draft but they felt that it didn’t tell a compelling story or reflect the many highlights.

Despite tight deadlines, I delivered the brochure ahead of schedule, earning the client’s thanks for delivering a high-quality brochure within short timescales.

Since then, the client has entrusted me with several other projects and recommended my services to colleagues and partners.

Case Study

Helping a leading garment decorator bring their story to life

TOT Shirts is one of the UK’s leading garment decorators, working with some of the biggest names in the music, entertainment and sports industries.

The team approached me to create a new brochure they could share with both existing customers and new prospects. While the team already had plenty of raw content to work with, it felt too long and wasn’t doing their work justice.

I worked closely with the team to strip things back and focus on what really matters – with clearer and more engaging messaging. Alongside this, we collaborated with a trusted designer to create strong, clean visuals that brought the content to life visually.

The result is a high-quality brochure that the team are now proud to share with customers.
