Writing

I write for websites, national magazines, brochures, social media; you name it, I write for it! I can handle the whole process of crafting content or just jump in at specific stages to refine and polish what you've already got.

Why be one thing when you can be many, right? Not only do I tell stories through the written word, but also via podcasts, talks and training sessions.

Impressing folks left, right and centre

    Kall Kwik

    I’ve felt so supported by Laura, and really appreciate the way she’s able to generate ideas with such little input initially.

    Kim Edwards, Owner
    Action for Happiness

    Laura's flexibility, energy and enthusiasm are remarkable and she brings a fresh, enthusiastic approach to her endeavours.

    David Smart, Chair
    Affinity Day Care C.I.C

    Laura’s press releases have given us the edge on other providers and have really portrayed our energy and vibrancy in what we deliver.

    Fern Overton, Director
    Participation Sport

    Laura is always so positive, a wonderful influence on all who engage with her in person and online.

    Diccon Loy, Director
    Gungho Marketing

    What’s brilliant about her style is that it’s so engaging. She seems to know exactly what we need and delivers it every time. She really is a magician with words.

    Lucy Erskine, Chairman

Blogging

Blogging

Blogging has been a core part of my development as a writer and something I’ve always enjoyed doing so I still try and make time for it, particularly on issues that resonate with me personally. If you’ve got 5 minutes or you’re on a tea break, why not have a look?
