Hey, I’m Lil 👋 I’m a freelance copywriter, copy editor, proofreader and content specialist, based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. CopyStorm was born in 2011, and over the past 11 years I’ve worked with all sorts of clients, from fast-paced marketing agencies to tiny start-ups taking tentative steps towards market.

And listen, we’ve all been there: scratching our heads in front of a blank screen, grappling with words that have lost all meaning. It’s time to step away. Go on, hand it over.

Top quality copy and content will put your brand ahead of the curve. I can help. The most successful brands are the ones who talk, and I can get you talking. In 2022, a successful brand needs content crossing multiple platforms and, luckily for you, I’m multi-talented.

I can offer a fresh take. Think of me as a new pair of eyes to see strengths where you’ve forgotten them. To capture your ethos, aim, products and services in succinct, snappy words. No trouble at all.

Digital content is my specialist subject. I started my first blog at the age of 13, in the year 2000, and I haven’t come up for air yet. I can cover your brand’s every written need. Straight up web copy packed full of personality? No problem. I can help you shape your online identity by building you a community you can be proud of. I’ll use my social media skills to get you interacting with, and learning from, your customers. I can freshen up the words you already have, or develop a whole new voice from scratch. No matter what the project size, I’ll give your copy the time and attention it needs to jump right off the screen. Writing words online is what I’m good at. And you don’t have to take my word for it.

Like I said, I’m Lil. My most recent work covers healthcare, medical devices, FMCG, and lifestyle brands, though my experience extends to money-saving, fashion, beauty, travel and much more. Why do I do what I do? Well, the digital world is omnipresent, right? It’s everywhere, at all times. It’s how most of us shop, communicate, work, learn and much more . But I guess you already know that, because you found me.

So here’s how I can help to build your business’ online presence, save you time and worry, and get people hyped about what you do.

🖊 Copywriting and content: In a world where images are king, I still believe in the power of words! Whether it’s 20,000 of them or just 240 characters, I have years of experience writing engaging copy which inspires action and keeps users coming back for more. Since 2011 I’ve written for over 30 FMCG, fashion, medical and lifestyle brands, and the standard of my work means I can call plenty of them regulars. I’m confident with technical and UX writing too, having worked with multiple healthcare and medical devices clients in recent years.

👓 Proofreading and Copy Editing: I LOVE to edit and proof! I have a keen eye for detail and I truly relish the chance to whip out my (figurative) red pen. I’ve completed training in both, and have a varied body of experience. If all you need is a fresh pair of eyes to proof work already created, or you’ve got a 60,000 word doc you just can’t face… I’m your girl!

💬 Community management: I am a responsive, reactive and reliable community manager. I work across all major social networks, and have undergone training with a variety of content management systems. I provide tone-appropriate and always polite customer service, I have that keen eye for detail, AND I’m happy to problem solve to deliver the best communication possible.

Services start from £295 per day. Don’t need that long? Hire me by the hour from £42 a pop. If you’ve got something bigger in mind, let’s work out a project price.

Don’t sweat it, there are plenty of options and each quote will be tailored to your exact needs. I can work alone or as part of team to bring you a fast turnaround on your brief with delivery to deadlines you can rely on.

I love to work with good communicators who allow me independence and creativity, but I’m equally at home slotting into an existing team on an established project in a supportive or collaborative role. I have several regular clients, some of whom I’ve been freelancing for for over 6 years. I consider my greatest attributes to be responsiveness, adaptability and an unwavering positive attitude 💪🦄😅

Since CopyStorm began over 11 years ago, I’ve done everything from creating social media content plans for international food companies to editing healthcare documents with wordcounts of 60k+, for not only grammar and spelling, structure and syntax, but for consistency and tone of voice, too.

I’ve written copy for Tesco and Kelloggs, blogged for Funky Pigeon and La Redoute, and written content and managed social accounts for Alpro, Pets at Home, Ronseal, Hertz Car Rental and Puressentiel UK. One of my very favourite projects has seen me creating a tone of voice, editing a user manual, and writing a website, blog posts, press releases and key e-shots for a pioneering healthcare company. I manage social channels for multiple lifestyle brands, crafting content that drives engagement and ensures that the community is heard, consulted and answered around the clock.
