Meet Jen

Occasion poet. Creative copywriter. Chatterbox

Playing with words has been my favourite thing to do for as long as I can remember. From primary school where I’d sneak extra exercise books from the stationery cupboard and use them to write stories; through university where I fell hard for poetry and the intense, jewel-like images that can be created in tiny spaces; and on to my career – first as an editor of children’s books in London, and then with Jackdaw Editorial – it’s been a constant source of joy and fulfilment.

Writing Services That Light You Up

As an award-winning poet and a creative copywriter, it’s my job to take abstract ideas and feelings and to turn them into something you can hold on to.

Whether in ‘intense on-the-spot event poetry’ mode at my typewriter; crafting a wedding reading or meaningful gift that encapsulates a relationship in all its eccentric, unique glory; or crystallising what it is that makes a business so special and giving it a voice, there is nothing I love more than seeing my clients light up as their memories and values come to life on the page.

Why choose me?

First and foremost, I genuinely care about every person I work with and project I work on. As someone you’re entrusting with your voice, the chemistry is crucial, and I do my utmost to make sure you’re comfortable throughout the whole process. Secondly, I’m experienced in what I do, as well as passionate about it!

As a poet, I’ve been widely published in journals, have won international prizes and have published books of my poetry  (you can find these in the Shop). My typewriter and I have written hundreds of personal ‘on-the-spot’ poems at events and festivals, including one for Philip Pullman, which was an amazing experience.

I want personal poetry! Tell me more →

As a copywriter I’ve worked with dozens of businesses across the wedding, events and hospitality sectors, helping them to secure their position in the industry and pin down what it is that makes them stand out from the crowd. My lyrical, atmospheric writing style and focus on professionalism with bags of personality has seen the small-but-mighty businesses I work with connect with and convert more of their ideal clients.
