Alice Murgatroyd

Freelance copywriter, editor and proofreader

Alice Murgatroyd

Hello.
I’m a freelance copywriter.

I love my job because I get to meet and help lots of interesting people who each need something different. I’ve been involved with a wide range of projects, including writing whole magazines and tiny straplines, web content and leaflets, corporate correspondence and product descriptions.

My favourite thing, no matter how big or small the project, is the pride I feel at finding the perfect words - the exact phrasing to convey a client’s passion.

How can I help you?

I don’t just get it written, I get it right.
As a freelance copywriter, I become part of your team. I work for you, whether you need me to simply proofread an important letter and iron out spelling mistakes, or write a whole magazine and persuasive web content to promote your business. Your passion is my priority.

Why not have a look below for a little more information on the areas of writing I specialise in?

Get in touch if you’d like a quote or any more information. It would be great to hear from you.

In the meantime, please have a look around my site – check out my portfolio and find out a bit more about me.

COPYWRITING

Every day we are bombarded with words. In a single day we read advertisements, newspapers, flyers, websites, letters…the list goes on. For your business to stand out, the writing that represents it must be exceptional. I write all kinds of content to promote consumer interest.

Websites

Web content is a very important part of modern business. Search engines are becoming ever more intelligent and relevant copy tailored with SEO (search engine optimisation) is essential.

I have been commissioned to write content for a wide range of companies including restaurants, wedding venues, schools, estate agents, an outdoor equipment company, a high-end aromatherapy retailer, a creative agency and a prestige car advisory service.

Editorials

I really enjoy collaborating with a publishing team on magazines. I have broad experience in writing feature editorials for wedding magazines, but I have written on a variety of topics for different publications.

Have a look at examples from my most recent magazine project, Weddings in the South.

Corporate correspondence

Companies use a wide range of media to contact both consumers and their own staff. I am often asked to write correspondence on behalf of organisations. It is my role as a copywriter to adopt an appropriate tone and style, clearly and concisely conveying information on behalf of the client. I often save a client hours of precious time, allowing them to focus on their business.

Marketing

It is a core requirement of all businesses to market themselves effectively. The methods and mediums employed by companies to achieve this are vast.
I have helped several different companies market themselves through newsletters, pamphlets and leaflets, emails, information booklets, press releases and social media.

EDITING

I am often asked to look over, check and edit copy that has been produced by a client. My input ranges from correcting spelling and grammar mistakes to full re-writes, at the client's request.
I have edited leaflets, official correspondence, creative fiction, web copy, magazine articles, advertisements and many other forms of writing.

PROOFREADING

Accurate copy is essential for businesses to be taken seriously. Simple mistakes and typing errors look unprofessional and can cost customers.

As a proofreader I check the copy I am sent for accuracy and make minor corrections. I have proof-read a range of documents from short press releases, corporate correspondence, leaflets, adverts and pamphlets, to full magazines, websites, and books.
