I’ve been a published writer for almost 30 years, and a self-employed copywriter for nine. I’ve done copywriting for all kinds of people. From beauty therapists, to accountants, to HR experts, to digital marketers, I’ve written pretty much any kind of copy you can think of, and I’ve loved it! While I still do copywriting projects from time to time, […]

My fifth year of business is once again being marked here in rural Brittany, France, where I’ve been with my family since March. I’m pleased with how Gudrun Lauret Copywriting is doing, but as always, I feel I could do better.

At CMA Live last month, there was a fantastic presentation by Amy Harrison on writing better for your audience so you’re communicating the value of your offering.

That’s all good stuff and it was definitely relevant to the […]

Business Content Content Marketing
Attending CMA Live This year’s CMA Live experience was very different to last year, and I think that was really down to how I feel about myself and my business. In the intervening 12 months, I’ve done a lot of work on my message, my offering and my website (although not my social media – one thing at a time!) […]

I love it when people ask me what I do – my dream job was to be a writer, and now I am one. When people find out my husband is a semi-professional poker player, they imagine we live an impossibly glamourous, wildly exciting life. The truth, of course, is that one of us spends our days hunched over a […]

Working with a copywriter can be expensive for small businesses, especially when you’re just starting up. Or you may feel that your writing is more than good enough to be shared online.
