Hello,
I'm Lara.

I'm a writer
based in Berkshire.

Always on the lookout for work that challenges and inspires me, I love collaborating with people who are as enthusiastic about pushing creative boundaries and producing their best work as I am.

I’m interested in most things except cricket, and I specialise music, film, food and culture writing but I can turn my hand to anything. I wrote SEO content about personal finance for a whole year once, I co-wrote a book about animal music a few years ago and I recently wrote a 100-word microfiction about a fallen skateboarder for Story Seed.

Blog Writing

Also known as 'content writing' and often in the same breath as 'SEO' this is the sort copy that you want for your website blog. Hiring someone like me who has been doing this for years is a great alternative to doing it yourself. You're busy running your business anyway right?

Social Media

Marketing

Whether it's Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn, social channels and platforms are different ways to promote your business online. Not every platform works for every business. That's why it's good to consult with someone like me who understands the difference and knows how to create social posts that sizzle.

Copywriting

Copywriting can be anything from the text you need for your website to focused taglines and advertising copy that are bang-on for your brand. I've done all kinds of copywriting from finessing a script for a marketing agency's promo video to developing a whole website and social media presence. I've worked in-house and at agencies on everything from personal finance and property to Indian food and fashion.

"I had the pleasure of working with Lara for a number of years as editor of our member magazine, Leisure Scene, as well as on other ad hoc requests. Lara brought her own style to the magazine and was very forthcoming with recommending topics for articles which she’d then enthusiastically go off and write. Last minute requests were always met and our needs understood, no matter how out there the request was. A ball of energy and great personality is how I would best describe Lara."

"I began working with Lara as a website copy writer recently and she has been nothing but professional, adaptable and a lot of fun to work with. More importantly, she managed to understand my brand 'voice' very quickly, is a great sounding board for ideas and is also quick to deliver her copy."
