About

Hi there, I’m Genevieve (they/them) and I’m a freelance writer

While professionals of my persuasion tend to be known as copywriters, I often like to self-identify as just a writer.

This is partly because I think the word “copywriter” is a bit redundant (it basically means “word writer”, which is over-egging things in my opinion). It’s also partly because “writer” makes me sound very cool and mysterious* when someone asks me what I do.

As a (copy)writer, I particularly enjoy supporting small to medium businesses or organisations – especially folks who have a strong sense of who they are and why they do what they do**. However, I’ve also had the pleasure of working with some national and international big-hitters.

* At least, for the few seconds it takes me to clarify that I am not, in fact, a novelist but a common garden variety writer for businesses and other organisations.

** And if you’re a business who’s not so sure, I can help you with that, too!

– Me, living my dreams

I specialise in writing websites, case studies and ongoing content (like blog posts). I’ve been lucky enough to run my own writing business for over three years now, after a four-year stint as a content writer and case study specialist for UK charity Marie Curie.

I really enjoy what I do. I get to connect with new people, learn about different sectors and industries, engage my creative brain, and have an excuse to be unabashedly nosey.

– Me again, outing myself as a Trekkie

When I’m not trying to climb inside the mind of my clients, I can be found pottering in my garden, wrangling spaniels, and bothering my gorgeous fiancée.

I am a queer non-binary person and I use the pronouns They/Them (e.g. “Gen’s outside, they got distracted by a cool moth”). I love chatting about house plants, death, mental health, and Star Trek.***

*** I am actually quite fun to talk to, despite this apparent evidence to the contrary
