    Hi. My name is Celia, but my friends, family and psychic healer call me CB.

    When business owners let me get my hands on their websites, I fill them with copy that's, well, punchy. Because there is nothing more boring (or nineties) than a website teeming with hackneyed phrases like "we go the extra mile".

    Nobody wants that corporate jargon anymore. We're all craving connection and authenticity, even from businesses in pretty un-sexy industries. Your copy doesn't need to be full of jokes and swear words to stand out, but it does need to hold your customers' attention to the bottom of the page. If it can't do that you're wasting valuable branding real estate and that is going to hurt your bottom line.

    Real talk: a flashy logo won't bag a sale, but charismatic copy, will.

    **********

    Still not convinced I'm the Kylie to your Jason? Here's an FAQ that might help.....

    Where are you based?
    I'm British, from Oxford, but because I'm all about being fearless in life and biz I live on a sailing boat. I'm currently in East Africa.

    Is it only copy for websites you do?
    Hell no, it's everything - ad copy, social media stuff, product descriptions, bios. Heck, I'll even write your TED Talk if you want (it'll be hilarious, of course).

    Is it true you've worked for Gordon Ramsey, Ricky Gervais and the Queen?
    No.

    What's your turnaround time?
    2-3 days for a single piece. A week or so for a full site. A fortnight for longer projects.

    How many revisions do you include?
    Usually my clients only need a few tweaks here and there and this of course is included. If *shock horror* you aren't happy with my first draft I will do a complete rewrite, which is also included in the fee. Any further rewrites would cost extra.

    What happens if I don't like the rewrite and in fact come to regret ever darkening your door?
    No problem, I will cancel the project and refund the fee.

    OK I'm in, how do we get things rolling?
    Contact me, tell me what you need and I'll prepare a quote for you to say yay or nay to.

    With salt and sweat

      CB is totally different to the plethora of writers available on PPH. She has an open and honest style, thorough background research into the subject to be written on and then the icing on the cake was the piece of work she produced.
      She truly has got balls when it comes to copywriting!

      I want to write really bad feedback so that no one else uses Celia, and I can keep this little writing ninja to myself. She is transforming my business through the words she writes for me.

      Ceila WILL make you stand out against the bland boring copy that has infiltrated the web.

      This lady will give you an unfair advantage against your competition.

      Amazing. Can not fault. A brilliant piece of writing that far exceeds anything I've seen before, and with the best communication I have seen.
