I've done copywriting projects for Dave Harland and Ben McKinney separately, and also for their copywriting agency Copy Or Die.

Now, I've joined the Copy Or Die team part-time as...well that's my first job, deciding on my job title 🤩

Should have "Queen" in though, right?

When do you work your best? I love a late night sesh. My brain kicks in about 8pm onwards 🙃 Which is convenient in a way because otherwise I only get the school day to work.

Can't do too many evenings per week tho or my brain juice runs out.

Forever stuck on week 3 run 3 of couch to 5k but it's better than being stuck on week 0 run 0 I guess.

Which episode of indie business club podcast is your favourite? In "Handbags and Gladrags" Ben McKinney and I discuss industry awards and set ourselves the target of becoming an "award-winning podcast".

Vain? Maybe 😏 listen wherever you get your pods.

Industry awards. Load of fucking bollocks (ah yay I've missed swearing) or actually worthwhile? I'm biased 😏💎

For me, depends who's judging (in my case an industry legend, the entry price was v low to cover costs not a pay to play situation, so it's legit I'M LEGIT OKAY?!

My massive win of the year was speaking at CopyCon, the professional body for my industry. Two years ago, I set it as a goal to speak there in 2024 and put loads of work into making it happen *sob*

I've done 7 IRL event talks this year. That might not sound like loads. But every time, my long-suffering husband has to take annual leave at work or I have to beg a favour from another parent at school. But I blimmin love it. And it's impacted my business so positively.
