Copy confidence for small business owners

I specialise in voice-led, heart-centred copy and content, that builds a human connection with audiences (whilst maintaining SEO best practices). The Copyshop gives small, solo and creative business owners and micro agencies the confidence to tell their own stories.

Send me your messy draft, your rambling voicenote of ideas, or a list of blog topics and I’ll untangle it to pull out gorgeous, narrative-driven copy, aligned with your goals and brand voice.

By a working writer (and story lover).

Hi! I'm a blogger journalist copywriter storyteller who loves to work with small, solo, and creative business owners.

I earnestly believe in the power of stories to make change and bring people together. I write heartfelt, narrative-driven copy and weave small business stories (with words that actually sound like a small business owner, not a corporate CEO). I also manage blogs, newsletters and other longform content for B2B and agency clients.

When I’m not at my writing desk, you can probably find me juggling a one-year-old, a laptop and an oat-milk latte at the local soft-play.

  • “I've come away with a brand new blog and a newsletter which never would have happened without Zoe's newsletter accountability session.”

    Sophie Greenwood, @thecreativeincubator

  • “I loved how simple it was to hand over my thoughts about the homepage of my website and in return receive lots of really well thought out notes of how I could improve it. ”

    Lucy Critchley, @untold.creative

  • “I really loved Zoe’s tone of voice, and the way she conducted the interview was spot on.”

    Tilly Lander-Williams, @moorheartcopy

  • “My home page is more focussed, it's more easy to understand what I do. It's worth a small investment to gain so much expertise.”

    Rachel Howfield Massey, @otherwaystowalk

  • “I love how you've managed to extract sense from my ramblings. It gave me the feelings I want my pots to provoke”

    Lorna Gilbert, @lornagilbertceramics

  • “Would definitely recommend Zoe to help get your words in place if you are struggling to find your business persona or imagining your audience”

    Joanne Michael, @parentsofsmallbiz

  • “It was really helpful to stop and think about what I want to say, and I felt comfortable to ask silly questions”

For (the people behind) small and solo ventures.

I give indies, creatives, freelancers, micro-agencies and one-(wo)man bands confidence in their copy:

  • Agency owners and in-house marketing teams who need a freelancer they can trust with SEO blogs and owned media

  • Freelancers and multi-hyphenates who need to find the right words to say what they actually do

  • Small business owners who need support and encouragement to publish content like blogs and newsletters.

Ready? Let's workshop your words.

I untangle Google Docs brain dumps, long rambling voice notes, and wild scribbled ideas to write gorgeous, narrative-driven, on-brand small business stories in Venti Copy.

You can also get Copy on Tap with copy and content retainer packages for ongoing long-form content, SEO blogs, owned media, and case studies.
