About Me

Years of writing experience come as standard in this fully-specced model. Solid copywriting knowledge and excellent proofreading skills are neatly packed under the bonnet.

0 - 60 in ... barely any time at all! Written copy starts smoothly, accelerates powerfully and romps efficiently over the line, boasting about its accuracy and professionalism.

From a school essay that needs the once-over, to global business websites and projects, my pen and I are in your pit waiting to ensure your vehicle outperforms the rest.

Extended metaphor over!

I'll help your words do exactly what you want them to do.

I teach writing (in English!) at Salzburg University, and I write for several private clients, who use my words daily, weekly, monthly and on the odd occasion.

Luckily, I have borrowed Hermione's time-turner, so I am perfectly capable of doing in a day what it takes others to do in a week!

Areas covered: UK, Europe, Rest of the World, Remote

Hire Lucy, if you dare! You better wear your trainers if you want to keep up with her. Excellent.
