Hi, my name is Alexander, but you can call me Alex.
I am a professional, independent copywriter based in Glasgow, Scotland. I offer a wide range of copywriting services, as well as copyediting and proofreading.
I specialise in bid writing (tenders, funding and grant applications, expressions of interest, and so on), but I also have a strong portfolio of digital marketing work, from web content to email templates and social media.

What do you love most about your job?
Helping people and businesses to express themselves.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Put simply, after experiencing the usual post-graduation doldrums of struggling to find work, I decided to turn freelance copywriting into a full-time occupation, and here I am.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a people person, I'm really outgoing, and I only work with people and companies that I want to work with, who I know I will like. When you work with me, you'll be working with someone who is a great communicator and who really goes the extra mile in the pursuit of your success.
Application writing - funding, grants, bids, proposals, expressions of interest.
With experience writing business tenders in response to invitations to tender, applications for government grants and funding, planning proposals, and more, I have a meticulous eye for the highly specific demands of these processes, and the experience to know what works and what does not work.
I can edit, review and consult on an existing tender/application that you've already or part-prepared, or I can create one from scratch.
These processes take an average of three days for small projects, depending on requirements - some will take longer, some not as long.
Whether it's an official tender response, a contract, an event proposal, or an informal pitch to a prospective client, I can provide in-depth feedback and practical advice on how to increase your success potentials, implementing a template, storyboarding your ideas, or simply proofreading your copy.
I can make sure your tender proposal meets any compliance specifics, and I can sculpt its tone to harmonise with the client's brand identity and needs.

Proofreading
There's nothing worse than an otherwise brilliant piece of text, copy or prose that falls down because of simple spelling or punctuation mistakes, or, even worse - and even harder to spot - grammatical errors.
Sure, you could install Grammarly or some similar software - I use this myself as an extra guarantor - but there's nothing like the scrutinous evaluation of a professional to ensure flawless clarity.
I am a professional proofreader and copy-editor with experience editing and proofreading everything from news and marketing materials to academic papers, and creative writing.
I have an eagle eye for grammatical error and style and don't just tidy up spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes, but assess the whole tone and style of a piece of work, so as to recommend suggestions to improve its overall composition, and tune its syntax to the perfect pitch.
The puzzling complexity of syntax is fun for me – whether your work is creative, academic, or content for web, I can give it a professional polish so that you don't have to agonize for it to shine.
My rates for proofreading start at two pence per word, but for large consignments this is negotiable.
Suggestions for amendments to proofread text come as standard; but for proper copy-editing and re-writes I charge a seperate rate, and I ask that you contact me for a quote.
Article writing
I can write articles on a wide range of subjects and in a broad spectrum of formats - news, review, case study, opinion, SEO blog, academic.
Subjects covered: current affairs, culture, fitness, health, food, travel, lifestyle, tech, finance, e-commerce.
I can provide full on-page SEO treatment: long and short-tail keyword integration, tagging, meta-descriptions, backlinking, and more.
I can write SEO blogs to a high standard. Not quick, slap-dash blogs that sit emptily echoing random noise to make it appear that a website is saying something, when in fact it is saying nothing at all; but blogs that are genuine sources of useful information to your market and that help create an audience who hold your brand in high esteem for its expertise.
I provide my clients with articles written by someone with an unparalleled command of the English language and an in-depth knowledge of the nuances of grammar and punctuation, the vicissitudes of tone and style.
I can write funny articles, I can write serious articles; I can write silly, or academic articles. I only write top quality articles.
Any subject or concept is considered and I am prepared to conduct considerable research as part of my service - usually all I need is a subject/concept to begin.
I use premium plagiarism software and provide continued re-writes to ensure the finished product exceeds expectations.
My rates are competitive but not exorbitant. For some clients/projects concessions may be considered. Please contact me for a free impartial consultation and quote, or if you have any questions.
