The emails you keep rewriting.
Website copy, business communications, and the messages you send over and over. Written in plain English, in Canberra, quoted for the job.
The problem
There is an email you rewrite every time you send it. There is a page on your website that says something you stopped meaning a year ago. There is a quote that sounds stiff and formal and nothing like you.
Writing is not the thing you are good at, and it should not be the thing that holds up the work.
What I do
- Website copy — the pages, written to be read, not admired
- The emails you send often, written once so you can reuse them
- The awkward ones: chasing money, saying no, telling someone something has gone wrong
- Quotes, proposals and the letters that have to sound like a person
- Policies and notices rewritten so an ordinary person can understand them
Everything follows the Australian Government Style Manual: plain English, short sentences, everyday words. If someone has to read it twice, I rewrite it.
What it costs
Quoted for the job. Fixed scope, fixed end date, priced on what you get.
Small jobs can be done by the hour instead — $100 an hour, or a 10-hour block for $800, used within 90 days. Paid upfront.
When this is the right thing
- You keep putting off sending something because you cannot get the words right
- Your website says what you did two years ago
- You want to sound like yourself, not like a template
- Something has to be understood the first time it is read
When it is not
I do not run social media accounts for other people. If you need a whole website designed and built rather than written, that is a project — tell me what you are after and I will quote it.
It still sounds like you
I write in your voice, not mine. You get two rounds of changes on anything I write, and the final version in a form you can edit yourself.
Start with a conversation
Tell me what is going on. You will get a clear yes or no within one business day, and a scope in writing before anything starts. No obligation, no sales sequence.
Questions
- Will it sound like AI wrote it?
- No. I use AI to do the slow parts faster, then read and rewrite every line myself. A real person takes responsibility for what goes out.
- How many changes do I get?
- Two rounds on everything, included in the price.
- Can you write in my voice?
- Yes. That is the job. I will ask for a few things you have already written, and we start from how you actually talk.
- Do I have to be in Canberra?
- No. I am based in Canberra and work with businesses right across Australia.
The other things I do
- Small business admin support — the invoicing, inbox, quotes and follow-ups, from $400 a month
- Get your processes written down — so someone else could follow them
