COPYWRITING & TEXT SERVICES

 
 

SPEECH WRITING

Prepare for event-specific presentations and public speaking engagements.

We’ll understand your audience then define the details and objectives of the message together so that I can write your content for you.

Alternatively, we can write your speech collaboratively and I’ll train you in ways to make your content more persuasive; more memorable, and much more likely to get the audience to act, whether your objective is for them to do something, feel something, or whatever.

 
 
 
 

COPY WRITING

I’ll quickly help you define the details and objectives of your message and understand the best tone of voice for your audience, if you don’t have one established that is, before getting to work on some beautifully crafted copy.

I’m a massive word-nerd so no job is too big or too small, be it a professional website or brochure, press-release or poster; I’m your guy.

I can also help you with your blog posts and social media boasts, newsletter sections and even letters of affection… But we’d better keep that last one secret!

“I reached out to Russ to look over an article I had written, which was far too wordy. Russ took the time to understand what my core message was and why it mattered to me. The outcome was a clear and streamlined article that was easy to read and be understood by those new to the subject.”

— NAOMI TRENTHAM | FOUNDER AT MITOS.WORK

TEXT CORRECTION & EDITING

Ensuring that your content is grammatically sound and free from typos and spelling mistakes is of course important for the professional image of your brand, and your can be sure that I have years of experience and a fine-toothed comb at the ready.

Nevertheless, those are the basics, and the true value here is ensuring your text and writing style is consistent and congruent, so that it’s comfortable for your audience to read and achieves your intended outcome.

I have proofread, edited and corrected documents for private clients as well as professional and public institutions. I work with the utmost discretion and am always happy to sign an NDA (confidentiality agreement) for your comfort.
