Bit of long shot, but thought I might as well post up something here.

I'm a freelance copywriter, with over ten years big agency experience. Won most of the leading industry awards, including a couple of Cannes Lions (I know, get me). So, if you need a good writer, or even a team, please get in touch. You'll find more info on my website www.lukesherwin.com

Cheers

Luke

I have always wondered what you guys do exactly. So if I was producing say a 100 page brochure and website for my company, you would come along tell me all the spelling and grammar mistakes?

That's more of a proof readers job. We'd write the brochure/website based on your brief. Then you'd come back with comments/amends etc and we'd reach a happy medium smile

Shouldn't that read "Bit of a long shot", "I have won..." and I'm sure there's too many commas in your text tongue out

PH - SPAG matters

I have to say professional copy writers can be worth their weight in gold in certain circumstances.

But would suggest that Luke isn't really selling himself very well!

Commas are there for breathing spaces, and I may have typed a little too quickly, so missed out the odd 'a' here or there. See, where are the proof readers when you need them?

Most managers can't write decent copy. They're so busy shoehorning in USPs that the sentences are ugly and don't flow. At best, they're so close to their subject that their writing lacks perspective.

I write copy (scripts) too, but it's pocket money stuff because nobody wants to may for it.
