Seeking copywriters in Cheltenham?

As one of the more experienced Cheltenham copy writers, I'm based close Cheltenham businesses – and only a short drive away if you're elsewhere in Gloucestershire. If you're further afield, the M4, M5 and M50 make it easy to visit you. Because of this, I can deliver traditional face-to-face service without charging a fortune.

(By the way, this isn't another regional copywriting-services page for a writer in Devon, East Anglia, or London – you know the ones, where the copy's the same for dozens of cities and counties and only the place names are different.)

I live and work in Cheltenham and most of my clients are in Gloucestershire or nearby counties. Because of this,  I can offer a personalised service and face-to-face contact from first enquiry to final full stop. And I never employ anyone else to do your copywriting.

I write when you haven't the time, specialist skills or inclination to do so. Do you want to get vital copywriting off your to-do list. If you're near (or not so near) to Cheltenham Spa we should talk...

Part of Cheltenham's long creative heritage

My adopted home town boasts a rich history of creativity by Cheltonians such as Gustav Holst, the late Brian Jones and novelist Phyllis Bentley (a Cheltenham Ladies’ College alumnus). Now the town's the perfect base for me to service clients along the M4 and M5, in the Welsh borders and elsewhere.

More copywriting for your budget

If you’re based beyond Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, here’s another reason we should talk. Because regionally based local freelance copywriters like generally have lower overheads than London writers, your budget goes further than in the capital. And with Cheltenham's tradition of creativity, you benefit from the same skills and experience that you’d find in town – without that long motorway drive or pre-dawn rush for the train.

As Gary Windas, MD of Yorkshire-based Hawksland Associates said:

Why choose a Cheltenham copywriter?

If you're based in or near Cheltenham, here are some advantages of hiring me for your copywriting services:

• Cost-effective face-to-face meetings
• Fast response to enquiries
• Proven history of delivering high-quality copy
• Useful contacts with other local creative businesses

I occasionally work on remote copywriting projects. But I've found that some face-to-face interaction is usually helpful. For all their strengths, tools such as video-conferencing and Skype have their limitations... Especially so when you must give a brief, exchange ideas and discuss source material.

Tailored copywriting services

On the subject of source material, I tailor my copywriting services to whatever's most convenient for you (and available):

• Your developed concepts
• Rough notes
• Copywriting from scratch (based on interviews and research)
• Repurpose existing copy
• Combine different source copy into a document with a consistent writing style and tone of voice

In 2006, I started my Cheltenham-based freelance copywriting business and joined the ranks of the creatives that call Cheltenham home. Since then, many have entrusted copywriting to me. They love the convenience having a writer on-call when they don’t have the time, specialist skills or inclination to write. Someone in Cheltenham – not down the M4! Skype, email, and other technology has its place. But so does talking over a coffee.

What's more, because I work from my Cheltenham home with low overheads, I can price sensibly – usually with convenient fixed project-fees to help you budget. And I always deliver what I promise. As Paul Carter, Chairman at Mosaique Creative & Design, said about me:

No nonsense, gets the job done and always works with the timeline and budget. What more do you want?

More than ‘just a copywriter’

Before I set up as a freelance Cheltenham copywriter in 2006, I’d worked in thew following fields for over 25 years:

• Technical selling
• Market analysis
• Marketing
• Technical communication
• Copywriting
• Public relations

Few, if any, Gloucestershire copy writers offer such a varied background. Make no mistake, when we work together you get more than ‘just another copywriter’ As Cheltenham-based estate agency owner Oliver Bishop said on LinkedIn:

At my request Al reviewed my existing website copy which I was not completely happy with. I was given constructive and honest feedback to improve it but not completely overhaul it and Al took the time to come and meet me in person, discuss what I was after and actually see the business and the people himself. I was so impressed with the quality of his work and the time in which he delivered it in. I have had comments already from people on how much they like our Meet the Team page, check out his work for yourself at elliotoliver.co.uk. I can without hesitation highly recommend your work.

My copywriting services for Cheltenham draw on over 30 years' experience:

• Technical sales
• Market analysis
• Marketing
• Business development
• Technical writing
• Public relations
• Copywriting (in-house, agency and freelance)

I believe this makes me one of the most experienced and versatile conventional and SEO copywriters in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire. Clients comment on the value this background brings in conjunction with my qualifications in subjects such as marketing and technical communication.

I've worked in industry, done business across the client/agency divide, and worked for the commercial and charity sectors. Not only are the lessons useful as I write your copy, but related skills add value to my writing:

•     Research skills
