Website Copywriting
A breath of fresh air working with Declan, he's warm, highly professional and a pleasure to have worked with. We've had 2 different copy writers try and tackle the same task, they were ok but couldn't quite get what we were trying to do.
Declan understood the brief very quickly and the tone were trying to achieve. The site now reads very well and we've had marketing people comment on how well the copywrite reads and how consistent it is through out- they were very impressed!

So far so good

But All good so far
Scott Marsh
We recently had the pleasure of working alongside Declan to help start our new business and create its website. Meetings from day one were organised, planned and executed. Our brief to Declan wasn't the easiest but he took the time to understand what it is we wanted and how to deliver it. He didn't waste any time getting to the core of our business and pretty much delivered a 40 page document within a week which he almost nailed first time round. Declan takes his time with you, listens to your goals and aspirations but also understands your pain points. I would definitely recommend Declan to anyone or company looking for professional copywriting services. More...

Declan showed a very genuine interest on my project and listened to what my goals and purposes were. Apart from his experience, this personal touch was partly what really convinced me to work with him.
Has delivered a great content for my property management website and he has been extremely helpful with advice and guidance in this project. We will definitely do business again. 100% Recommend

What do you love most about your job?
I thrive on challenge and problem solving, especially finding exactly the right words for each commission. Good writing requires clarity of thought - I love working with a client to establish priorities, and then turning those ideas into copy which really captures their purpose.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I enjoy the variety and independence of freelance work. It allows me to really focus on the task in hand without distractions inherent in a larger organisation.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm good at what I do. I'll listen carefully so we can collaborate well. If necessary, I won't be afraid to ask you hard questions in order to clarify what you need and how I can help. As a freelance copywriter, I have few overheads and offer genuinely good value for money. I enjoy my work, including those challenging commissions which require real thought to frame complex offerings in engaging, clear and persuasive language. I manage my diary carefully and do not over book - that way I know I'll be able to deliver on time. For a more detailed look at my offering, look at the services section on my Bark profile and my website at https://declanmorton.co.uk
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
All my services are available online and remotely. It's always good to meet clients face to face and in person. When that isn't practicable, we can do everything via the telephone and email, and using your choice of video-conferencing app.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I follow government guidelines, with cautious common sense added in as appropriate. All my services are offered online via email, telephone and Zoom or similar.
A more detailed look.
Even with a large team it can be difficult to find someone to pen just the right words to launch a new product, draft the latest blog or update your website. If your business comprises just a few experts, all with calls on their time, you probably need a copywriter.
That’s where I can help. With wide ranging experience of writing in many contexts, I’m well placed to save you time, freeing you up to focus on the business of your business.
I thrive on challenge. I dislike jargon and verbal 'fluff'. To provide the best service, I will press you to be precise about what you want. Have a look at the services listed below and get in touch.

Web Content
Web content – from scratch, or update an existing site to add real value to your brand. Using precise, concise language I will help you secure readers who stay on your website because they like what they see - increasing the likelihood of conversion, customer satisfaction and repeat business. All my website writing includes strategic use of key words for SEO and a style of writing which enhances enagagement online. I will ensure your text is relevant, readable and in the right tone of voice to capture the readers' attention - and keep it.
Product Descriptions, Advertising and promotional material
This ranges from snappy taglines and adverts to longer promotional material such as product descriptions, and copy for brochures and newsletters. I can help you capture new business as well as develop customer loyalty and continuity.
Explanatory Copy
Clarity is key. Using crystal clear English, I'm used to matching the text to the audience and purpose. I can help you with ‘how to’ guides, instructions and handbooks that will save you time and make your life easier.
Articles, Blogs, Case Studies
I write regular blogs for a small group of clients who have something interesting to say. This is usually on a monthly basis and I'm happy to add to this list of customers. However, I'm not in the market for high frequency postings on social media. They have an important part to play in digital marketing, but it is not a service I provide.
I offer a range of other writing services for business, including white papers, case studies, in-house guides and business proposals . Perhaps unusually for a writer, I'm comfortable with numbers and have plenty of experience turning large quantities of data into into a coherent narrative.
Ghost Writing
For when you have a lot to say but not enough time to say it. Talk to me about what you have in mind.
Pricing
My charges vary depending on the nature and scope of the commission.
However, the starting point is a daily rate of £480, or £75 an hour for shorter commissions which take less than a day, with a minimum charge of £150. I charge blogs at £225 blogs up to 1000 words, scaled up thereafter at £50 per 500 words. Thus a piece of 750 words will cost £225, and 1500 words I will charge at £275. 2000 words will cost £325, and so on. Naturally, you decide the word count for the published version.
Individual commissions vary considerably in complexity, so prices can be adjusted up or down depending on that, as well as the overall size of the project and the amount of research needed before I can start writing.
Proofreading and Copy Editing
Alongside my copywriting business I also offer a straightforward proof reading and copy editing service. Prices vary, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Prices are in line with those recommended by the Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders. Get in touch to find out more.
eBooks
eBooks can serve many purposes but they are usually - directly or indirectly - about promoting your business generally, or supporting a particular initiative. I'll help you focus on what matters and bring the right tone of voice to your content to achieve maximum impact.
