Write for you

What is Write for you?

Hi, I'm Claire, and I'm obsessed with words.

If you work with me I'll help you tell your story to your chosen audience, making it really easy for you in the process.

Using words to connect with your audience is vital, but it can be time-consuming and stressful if writing doesn't come naturally. I get to the core message of people, products and services quickly, setting it out in a way that's crisp, clear, concise and inspires action.

I treat all jobs as precious, whether it's writing a strategy, website or awards submission for a big corporate client or a small personal project such as a speech, CV or personal statement for an individual or small business.

I've done masses of corporate work, most notably for the NHS, Department for Work and Pensions, Next, Yorkshire Water and Leeds City Council, and I also work with numerous entrepreneurs on their PR and personal brand.

And with proven success as a writer and influencer in my own right, you really can trust me to do the heavy lifting!
About me

I'm a very proud mum, rescue greyhound owner and midlife influencer. I live in my beloved Yorkshire but enjoy travelling further afield for business or pleasure.
My love for writing and communications is what lights me up both in and outside of work. As well as putting my clients in the spotlight, I'm a published writer in my own right, spreading a realistic and positive message about life as a 40 plus woman.
My blog my40pluslife.me has seen me write for Woman and Home, Yorkshire Life and others, and I've been featured in The Sun, The Daily Mirror, Best, Living North and the Yorkshire Evening Post. I have columns in the Yorkshire Times and Yorkshire Businesswoman magazine - I also write for HN Magazine and Travelista.
As a writer and communicator with 25 + years of technical skill, and lived experience of what it takes to stand out in a crowded media landscape against all odds, you'll be in safe hands, I promise.
Copywriting

Using words to connect with your audience is vital, but it can be time-consuming and stressful if writing doesn’t come naturally. Whether it’s SEO-rich web copy, strategy writing, or crafting a full set of key messages you can use across all your channels, you can trust
me to tell your story in a way that’s concise, clear and inspires action.

Ghostwriting

Many of my clients say “ that’s exactly how I’d have written it myself!” So if you have a story or point of view burning inside you but you don’t have the time or knowledge to start telling it, hand your baby over to me. I’ve written for senior execs and international performers, so you’ll be in very safe hands.

Speechwriting

A public speaking opportunity is precious but can cause great anguish. I write for senior execs who have one opportunity to get it right at high stakes events, as well as wedding party members, eulogy givers and everything in between! I’ m also a frequent public speaker myself, so I know how to help you hit the right notes without the sleepless nights.

Coaching

I’ve delivered many one to one and group workshops to help people improve their confidence and personal impact, including in the NHS. It’s one thing having a well-crafted, powerful story - imagine what could happen if you/your employees had the confidence to tell it with real conviction!
Reviews of Write for you.

Peter Homa, director general of the Defence Medical Services

“I worked with Claire on many publications and major communication exercises. Claire is a highly professional, expert communicator and has the ability to produce high quality writing, often at very short notice. Claire provides outstanding professional communication advice and is a joy to work with.”

Sarah Mace, head of experience design at Leeds 2023 and trustee at Debt Justice

"Claire is a fantastic writer and communicator. She quickly extracts key facts and requirements from a brief and produces superb results, fit for purpose and audience. I have seen Claire work under immense pressure to extremely tight deadlines, and not once has her work been compromised.
I found Claire to be a confident, innovative individual and a team player whose writing skills were of the highest level."

Jan Coulthurst, chief of staff at 6point6
"Claire's a real creative thinker and is skilled at taking big ideas and turning them into the right copy for the target audience. Conscientious and dedicated, what makes Claire different from many other writers is personality. She's got loads of it which made her a really positive influence on the team and clients alike. A gem!"

Victoria Heron, director at Inside Out Communications
"Claire listens! A key skill to successful writing comes from the authors ability to listen to the client, storyteller, narrator call them what you will and Claire does this naturally. This means she writes with the audience in mind and weaves her technical writing capability with insight and produces super results. Claire is very natural and easy to work with making and her commitment to the task is always very visible. A true professional with a natural writing talent."

James Marcus, head of social media, global healthcare company
"I’m a firm believer that technology will never take away the power of human voice, and Claire has proven that for me. I needed support writing a lengthy speech with the aim to both educate and inform people, peppered with tasteful humour, to land well with my audience. Claire took the time to get underneath the skin of my work and the people I was talking to, understanding the context and complexity of the message I wanted to get across. I believe she has a genuine talent for capturing a story on paper which translates into the spoken word. I’ll definitely be back in touch soon for support with my next speech!"
