Let me put the words to your big ideas.

Copywriting by Lesley Southgate-Thomson: words that capture the true impact of your work and – ultimately – help you to grow your business. 

Hi, I’m Lesley.

I’m a freelance copywriter based in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire.  

I help professionals and experts to extend the impact of their world-changing work by distilling complex ideas into simple, purposeful, human words.  

A copywriting service for responsible businesses.

Claim back the time you spend writing and rewriting your content, while I craft the words to help you communicate the huge value and impact of your projects, nail funding and hook in new clients. 

I provide a flexible copywriting service which distills complex ideas into succinct and compelling communications. 

I’m proud to work with businesses that care: about their people, their projects, and their impact on the world around them.

You’re the expert: your content should command the room.

Let’s work together to make sure it does just that.

I believe that great content…

… is simple.

I work with you to filter out the noise, elevate your central message and present it in words that are accessible and to-the-point.

… is purposeful.

I’ll get under the skin of your audience to create a tone and flow crafted especially for their needs, and ensure the final piece dovetails seamlessly with your wider strategy and goals.

… and tells your story.

I know your projects are fascinating, so I’ll craft a piece that puts the compelling story behind your work (and exactly why you do it!) where it deserves to be: front and centre. 

“Lesley has an innate ability to craft compelling narratives, evoke emotions, and resonate with target audiences.”
