How can I help you?

Hello! I’m Laura, a creative freelance writer and communications professional, who can bring your organisation’s story to life and make sure it gets heard.

I’m based near Stamford, and cover the surrounding areas of Lincolnshire, Rutland, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and beyond.

For the past 15 years I have specialised in communications and journalism, and my areas of expertise include telling the tales of independent businesses and charities. This includes a focus on well-being, environment, food and farming, gardening, outdoor learning, heritage and the arts.

Basically, if you’re looking to make the world a better place, I can help amplify your voice, give a spark to your content, and expand your reach. Together we can make positive change happen.

What people say about my work

As an environmental charity, communications are a critical function of our work, core to getting our customers and stakeholders interested and engaged. Laura pulls off challenging deliverables to the highest quality, making them look like the product of a much larger team.

- April Sotomayor, Investors in the Environment

Laura has been absolutely vital in helping me to implement a marketing strategy for my new yoga business. Not only is she creative and thoughtful in her approach but she also provides me with the structure and support that I need for delivering an effective marketing plan. I would highly recommend her kind and personal approach to anyone who is starting up a new business, or anyone who needs to revitalise their existing marketing campaign.

Laura perfectly understood the ethos behind the company and created a fantastic press release to support the opening of the Peterborough shop. Her advice, extensive press contacts and great ideas make her a pleasure to work with.

Having worked with Laura for several years, I have always found her to be a proactive and professional marketer who brings her skills, passion and experience together to produce engaging and creative campaigns. She can be relied upon to distil complex and challenging information into fun and appealing content across a range of platforms, on time and to budget.

Laura has been a pleasure to work with. From every discussion we have had she has listened to what it is I am trying to create and has gone above and beyond expectations and delivered efficiently. Laura is very approachable and professional, I am looking forward to working with her more in the future.

- Alexandra Constant, The Mill Birth and Wellbeing Centre

Laura has been an absolute delight to work with, from the initial discussion of the brief to providing a clear quote with timelines and options, all the way through the many evolving tweaks and amendments up to the final pieces and wrapping up - Laura provided all this with clarity and a friendly professionalism. The final work was exactly what I was hoping for and I will definitely be working with her again in the near future!

- Luke Payn, Westraven Community Cafe & Garden CIO

Laura is an amazing, creative and inspiring professional. She was integral to helping Up The Garden Bath secure £70k funding from ITV & National Lottery. Highly recommend her to everyone.

Laura stood in to cover two issues of the magazine and was responsible for the full editorial cycle. This included creating editorial, reworking content, producing commercial advertorials and proofing designed pages. All work was undertaken to agreed timelines and to a high standard. I would recommend Laura as she is an asset to any business who requires these services.

- Steven Beacham, Term Times

Laura is very easy to work with, incredibly professional and passionate about her work. I completely recommend and will be using again for our communication needs.

Lauren Kendrick, Flourish Peterborough

I just wanted to thank you so much for such a beautifully written and composed article. I am very emotional actually as I'm sat reading it! I feel really recognised. So thank you, it means so much to be valued in this way.

Laura clearly outlined and adhered to all the project's timelines. She tackled issues as they arose, for example organising additional social media design support when necessary and offering valuable insights on our press releases AND I didn’t have to chase her about ANYTHING! (Laura please teach the rest of my life to be like this!)

- Suzanne Goff, Cambridge City Council

Laura has been an absolute gem in helping Hera Beauty with our communications, PR, and marketing needs. Her enthusiasm and positive attitude shine through in everything she does. From crafting our monthly newsletters to perfection to raising our profile in ways we hadn’t thought possible, Laura approaches every task with dedication and expertise. No job is too big or too small for her – she’s always eager to help and deliver outstanding results.
