HI, I’M Richard A FREELANCE COPYWRITER BASED IN CARDIFF.
Three words. Sarah Jessica Parker. Stop laughing at the back. I’ve seen more Sex and the City than I care to admit. And her character never seemed to go to work.
She just typed on her laptop in coffee shops. I like a flat white and thought that seems perfect for me.
So here I am. No boss, no dreary office cubicle.
Our lives aren’t exactly identical. I’m certainly not as glossy and have fewer shoes, but our careers are aligned.
Writers with laptops in coffee shops. SJP I raise my cosmopolitan and salute you. Bit early for that mind, hic.
Explaining the essence of your business in just a few short paragraphs. Plus you work with your product or service every day. It’s all too easy to forget what makes it special, different and unique.
And crafting good copy takes time. Time you never seem to have.
Together we can figure out who your prospective customers are and the right approach to connect with them.
We can have a trawl through previous campaigns, analysing what worked and what didn’t. Then I’ll start writing for you.
I can help you with all kinds of copywriting projects:
As long as you’re not peddling anything shifty…so no get rich quick schemes, pseudoscience or success with the ladies – guaranteed. Eugh!
Struggling to find prospects and convert them into customers?
Better content attracts attention, builds trust, and pushes those all important emotional buttons.
If you’re looking to captivate, intrigue and persuade your audience, then perhaps I can help.
Hi, I’m Richard Phelps, a freelance copywriter based in Cardiff, South Wales.
Great to meet you. Have a seat, and please excuse the mess.
Blog posts, sales letters, e-shots, press releases, brochures…whatever it is you’re wrestling with, I’m sure I can lend a hand.
Why did I choose copywriting as a career?

So actual stuff you might want to know before hiring me.
Plus other random facts………………
I worked in sales for over ten years. And yes I did have a Mondeo with my jacket hanging in the back.
My specialisms include: Learning & Development, SaaS , tech, numismatics, precious metal investing, and Health & Safety.
But thanks to freelancing I’ve learned about stuff like curry, luxury soap, houseboat holidays, mail fulfilment and recruitment. Every day is different. Splendidly so.
I have a degree in history from Swansea University, a professional diploma from the Chartered Institute of Marketing and one from the Institute of Copywriting too. My mother is very proud.
I appeared on the back of children’s cookbook aged 12. One day when I’m old I’ll be like JR Hartley out of the Yellow Pages ad and track down a copy.
Anyway that’s quite enough about me. Let’s talk about your latest copywriting project and how I can help instead.
Of course being a freelance copywriter in Cardiff means I work with local businesses across South Wales, but I’m an adventurous sort, daring to cross the bridge and pick up jobs further afield in Bristol, London and all over the place really.
And thanks to the wonders of technology I’m able to work globally too. See, it’s not that bad being in Wales. We even have tapas now. So please do get in touch wherever you are.
