I'm Matthew, your freelance copywriter based in Cambridge, working with businesses and organisations across the UK (and a bit further).
The words you write matter. They get your message heard, get it to connect, and sell what you do.
Are your words making sense? See my Services.


You bring the expertise, I'll find the words to connect, show and sell what you do.
Crafting relatable, SEO-ready content and stories to show your expertise and make your brand feel alive.
Promotional content that's clear so you can connect with your audience, show personality, and sell.
Simplifying your message on your website and socials so people get to know you and your work.
Turning complex into common sense copy people want to rea, including your educational content.

I read a newspaper article the other day. At the end of the piece, I saw the copied and pasted, fateful words, "If you want, I can turn this into a short summary..." An odd way to finish an editorial!
You get the point. Just because something is quick, it doesn't make it good. The same goes for technical jargon and clever-sounding words. Don't fall into this trap. Your story matters too much to get it wrong, and people see straight through rushed, fake or bland content.
So, here's your opportunity. Invest in a bit of quality. Tell your story, be relatable, start making sense to real people, and they'll get on board.
You might need to add personality. You might need to add fun. You might need to make complex topics relatable. How confident are you that your business is saying the right things?
