You’ve got your own website. You love it – it does everything you want it to do. It works beautifully and you are confident enough to make your own updates and changes to it, so you’re not on any service or maintenance plan with your developer. But there’s a...

“Sometimes I wish that the woman I am today could step back in linear time and meet the woman I was becoming as a teenager.”(Abigail Horne – published on International Women’s Day). Some days, I wish that too. I would love to tell her...

On meeting a few different people recently, and introducing myself as a copywriter for small to medium businesses, I’ve been interested to note that I’ve been asked the same question – “so, what do you actually write for them?”. It’s a fair question. Writing the...

On 1 January, a little Facebook reminder popped up to tell me that I’d posted a full year ago about starting my own business. There are lots of usual things to say about this, like how it’s flown by, how it’s the best decision I could have made, and how much I’ve...

The urge to create Christmas perfection is all around us – from social media, adverts, and even inherited from a parent (fans of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation will understand parental festive fanaticism). It’s so easy to feel that what we’re doing isn’t...
