Creative copy to engage your audience and reflect your brand.
Copywriting, editing, content strategy and design
Hi, I’m Carys.
I am a multi-platform journalist, copywriter and digital editor with 15 years’ industry experience working for national magazines and major brands.
Most recently, I held the position of Digital Editor of Boundless by CSMA, the UK’s leading membership club for people working in or retired from the civil service or public sector.
Previously, Group Digital Editor of BBC Countryfile Magazine and BBC Wildlife, I have written extensively about the outdoors, health and fitness, science and the natural world. I’ve also crafted commercial copy for affiliate, native and newsletter campaigns.
I also managed social media for London Marathon Events and World Marathon Majors. Take a look at samples of my work.
Skilled in creating effective data-driven creative content strategies, I offer full website audits and copywriting services to ensure your digital content is high-quality and search engine optimised (SEO) to increase traffic and achieve audience growth.
If you have a project in mind that you’d like to discuss, please do drop me a line or connect on LinkedIn.

I am currently available for commissions and holiday cover from July 2025.

Words have the power to inspire, educate and influence minds. Whatever sector you’re in, quality writing will get better results with your target audience. If you need concise, informative and engaging multi-platform content then I can help.
Tone of voice and accuracy is key, so I take time to understand the brief fully to ensure copy is on point, reflects your brand and conveys your message effectively.

Understanding your target audience and brand goals is the first step towards creating a successful content strategy. Digital publishing is constantly evolving so it is vital to adapt to new trends. A clear, concise and well-thought out creative data-driven content strategy can transform your digital offerings. I specialise in creating digital-first content strategies which lead to digital transformation and audience growth.

Build brand authority and keep your audience engaged with helpful and inspiring content that is crafted using a data-driven strategy and SEO rich copy that draws on expert knowledge. I can help you stay up-to-date with Google algorithm updates and current SEO best practices.
A powerful tool in reaching more readers or customers, I can help you identify SEO opportunities through keyword research. After running a site audit, I can optimise your existing evergreen website content to improve its visibility on search engines and identify content gaps to drive organic traffic to your site.

In today’s fast-paced and interconnected digital world, social media is often the first-place people go for information and breaking news. Social media platforms are constantly evolving thanks to new technologies and trends. Keeping up with social media trends is key if you want to reach the widest audience possible and use it as a powerful tool to grow your brand. Building a trusted and loyal community is crucial to brand reputation.
Outdoors & nature
Most recently the group digital editor of BBC Countryfile and BBC Wildlife, I have written extensively about the outdoors and nature – mainly as I love being outside. From covering a bushcraft retreat in a remote Scottish forest to a traditional crafts trail in Dartmoor, I have travelled the length and breadth of the UK on assignments.
Health & fitness
Formerly, the online editor of Women’s Running UK and Women’s Cycling, I write a lot about health and fitness. A keen distance runner and cold water enthusiast, you’ll often find me in lycra. I also managed social media and produced copy for London Marathon Events.
Online
An experienced digital writer and editor, I cover news, features, list articles and gear reviews for a wide variety of websites, including 220 Triathlon, Live Science, Active Traveller, BikeRadar, BBC Countryfile Magazine, the Guardian and Boundless.
Kind words…
