Copywriting​
York copywriter to boost your business
You know well-written content is important, and you know it makes sense to update your site regularly, to write a blog about your work, interview your designer or supplier, or write a case study.
But have you got the time? Have you got an idea for a blog but you're not quite sure about the words? That's where I can help.
- Customers are 131% more likely to buy from a brand that produces regular, consistent content.*
- One week after reading the content, consumers are still 48% more likely to buy.*

Creative translation
​
Transcreation (creative translation) is what you need for marketing and advertising copy. The message remains, but the content and words might change. Because I'm a UK native, I understand what will be right for UK culture emotions, and will therefore resonate with your new audience.
Proofreading
Professional proofreading will ensure your company is portrayed like the amazing business it is. Incorrect spelling, dodgy punctuation, bad formatting, or inconsistent style will lower the quality of your copy and give the wrong impression. Let me sort it for you so you can concentrate on your role.
“Claire is a fantastic translator; communication is a breeze and it's a real pleasure to collaborate with her on translation projects. I'm always wowed by Claire's rich vocabulary and flawless, highly editorial translations (that do not read like translations at all ;-)). Thank you!”
