Words that work for you
Black Cat Creative offers a range of copywriting, editing and manuscript services to help you tell your story.
Tired of starting at a blank page?
We’ve all been there. You have a million jobs to do, deadlines that expired yesterday, and extra work to chase up. The blank page looms. You’ll get to it tomorrow. Perhaps you throw some words on the page as placeholders. You’ll get back to them later when you have more time.
Chances are you won’t, and every hastily written piece of copy—from your website landing page to your LinkedIn bio—has the potential to cost you business.
Why hire a professional?
Written content is one of the most meaningful ways of interacting with your audience, clients and customers.
The words you choose for your website, newsletter or blog post can make the difference between a new customer hitting the ‘contact’ button or moving on to one of your competitors.
Hiring a professional copywriter is more than paying someone to whip up your ‘about’ page or blog post. Writing crisp, meaningful copy takes time, focus and intention. Great copy makes your business stand out.
Black Cat Creative will get to the heart of your message and create clear, accessible copy. Words shouldn’t get in the way of your business, they should enrich it.
How can I help?
Black Cat Creative offers a range of copywriting and editing services. I can edit your existing content or create completely new, researched and optimised copy that will bring your story to your customers. If it’s made of words, I can help.

Creative writing is my first love. As a published author with a PhD in English (creative writing) I can help you take your manuscript to the next level.

*While I will highlight any obvious typos, grammar or spelling issues, I do not do copy edits of large manuscripts as this is a specialist field and deserves a category of its own.
