Welcome! I’m Kirsten, a London-based copywriter, proofreader and editor. I’m also a published poet, one of the two editors behind collaborative press, Sidekick Books and a lifelong word obsessive.

I specialise in toys, games and poetry, but I’ve also worked with science journalists, non-profit organisations and major brands. If your words need creativity, accuracy and a human voice, I can help.

From children’s books to wedding speeches, and poetry to physics,
I love a challenge! Get in touch today to discuss your project.
Services
Copywriting
I love words and the gymnastics they can achieve! I will take your brief, add in any research needed and give you inventive, dynamic wording that makes your meaning clear.
Proofreading
I’m a sharp but sensitive proofreader, offering insights that work for your words. Grammar should work to clarify, not control. I edit thoughtfully, delivering consistent, elegant writing in your house style.
Creative Editorial Support
Does your writing project need fresh eyes? With ten years’ experience editing poetry anthologies, I can spot the things that are and aren’t working, explain why and suggest options.
Speechwriting
Whether you’re giving a wedding toast, sharing ideas at a conference or giving a crucial workplace presentation, I’ll take your ideas and turn them into a compelling speech.
Collaboration
I’ve worked with graphic designers, journalists, game designers, agencies and fellow writers, and I love to combine my skills with those of others.
Poetry Commissions
Need something unique for an event or campaign? I’m a prize-winning poet with two published collections, who’s written commissions for the BBC, Forward Arts Foundation and Southbank Centre. I love working to constraints and tailoring pieces to your brief. To see more of my poetry, visit my dedicated poetry site.
