I’m a copywriter and communications specialist with more than 20 years of experience.

Nailing high-quality charity communications is my passion.* Fundraising, campaigning, engaging, informing, persuading – wherever there’s a need for strong communication. I’m excellent at what I do. I LOVE what I do. And there’s a fair chance I’d love to do it for you.

*Do I do other comms, too? Yes. Once you’ve persuaded people to give away money, you can do anything.

I worked in-house until going freelance in 2025. I’m a doer – a copywriter and a creative – but I’m also strategic. My in-house roles went from junior level through to officer, manager and head of fundraising and communications, so I can cover a lot of bases.

If it’s comms you need, I can probably help. And if I can’t, I’ll say so from the start. Scroll down the page to see what I can offer. Or head to the testimonials to read what other people have to say about my work.

my top three

writing & Editing

I can write for you from scratch, or edit your copy. I work to brief and on brand. (No brief? No problem, I can send you my template). Stories, reports, web copy, t-shirts, social posts – you name it, I’ll do it.

consulting

I’m always happy to help elevate your communications, offer solutions to problems, and add strategic or creative value. I can cover concept through to delivery, and have a strong network of creatives and suppliers.

story gathering

I’ll find the story, draw out golden quotes to make it sing, and tell it well. I’ve interviewed people all over the world; when things are great, and when they’re tough. And I always do it with kindness and humanity.   

  • 'Amy played a pivotal role in transforming Ella’s' communications and fundraising work. Her leadership in the rebrand and website development created a powerful, cohesive identity that reflects the heart of Ella’s' work. More than that, Amy has an incredible talent for telling difficult stories with care and dignity. Any organisation would be lucky to have her expertise.'

    Minke van Til (Director at Ella’s)

  • 'Amy is a highly talented creative leader. She leads with integrity and passion, consistently producing eloquent and vivid creative work. As a brilliant communicator, Amy is both easy and a total pleasure to work with.'

    Nick Shenow (former Head of Communications, Strategy & Integration at Tearfund)

  • 'Working with Amy over the years has been an absolute pleasure. Whether collaborating on overseas content-gathering trips or crafting scripts for films, she consistently brings creativity, professionalism, and an exceptional attention to detail. Her ability to elevate every project makes her my go-to copywriter, and I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of top-tier writing expertise.'

    Aaron Koch (Migongo Films)

  • 'I can say without hesitation that Amy is one of the best communications professionals I have ever encountered. Whether it’s branding, copy, digital, fundraising or strategy, Amy always crafts stories that cut through the noise to reach the hearts of audiences.'

    Tom Price (Tom Price Photography)

  • 'Amy is without doubt one of the best writers, thinkers and creatives I’ve worked with. She can say so much with so few words, tell a story in so many ways but I think she listens in a way that is incredibly rare. Actively open to absorb every tiny bit of detail and emotion to create an outcome that works every time. She’s an asset to any team she’s in and brings the best out of everyone else.'

    Lloyd Kinsley (former Head of Global Brand & Communications at Tearfund)

  • 'Working with Amy is a masterclass in empathetic leadership and communications. An expert storyteller, Amy always centres the voices of survivors. In our time working together I have learnt so much from her about writing powerful pitches and compelling funding applications. I cannot recommend working with her more highly.'

    Emma Scott (Charity Consultant)

full menu of services

If you need something that’s not listed here, ask me just in case. If I can’t help you, I may be able to suggest someone who can.

  • Creative copywriting, persuasive copywriting, b2b copywriting, b2c copywriting, reports, bids, articles, emails, fundraising appeals…. There isn’t much I can’t write. If I’m not confident I can do a good job on your brief, then I won’t take it on.

  • There aren’t many things more rewarding than taking an average piece of copy and making it excellent. (So says the marketing copywriter!) I can make you sound really good.

  • If you need support with content ideation or sourcing, I can help. Web content writing and social copy are right up my street, too.

  • I’m a natural problem solver, and can make things happen when it comes to comms. So if you have a challenge, need ways to push forward a project or idea, or want to make your communications, monitoring and evaluation or case for support better, I’d love to help.

  • A strong, clear narrative is the backbone to any good film, talk or speech. I can help you build it.

  • I can help you with ideas for a new product, event, resource, campaign, or something completely different. I can work with designers and other creatives you already have on board, or I can recommend excellent people from my network if you need.

  • No-one wants typos, inconsistencies or clumsy wording. Proofreads are always worth that very tiny bit of extra time and budget, to get the best result. Or, if you want your comms to sound more ‘you’ rather than ‘who?’, ask me about brand reads.

My comms heroes

Clarity of information

Tell me your thing, and I’ll communicate your thing in a way that’s accessible and engaging.

Plain language

I’ll steer you away from jargon and baffling words unless there’s a good reason not to.

beauty

Clear copy can be beautiful. I’ll make sure you speak to hearts as well as heads.

Story telling

Stories keep it real, interesting and relatable. If you’re lacking a story, I’ll find one for you.

brevity

Less can be more. Let me help you get to the point and cut out the fluff.

An emotional punch

But without going over the top. There’s enough drama in the world without sensationalist copy.
