Hi! My name’s Hilary, and I’m a Melbourne-based writer, copywriter and editor. You have landed on my website because you either consulted the internet oracle known as Google or got a personal referral. You are also probably completely awesome and most likely very good looking.
I provide a wide range of writing, copywriting and editing services to brands, businesses, agencies and organisations. I pride myself on writing clear and persuasive copy that resonates with people. I believe writing is a whole lot more than pretty words on a page – it’s a way to engage, inspire, educate and entertain. I set out to make people think and get under the hood of how they feel.
As a writer, my work has appeared in publications including BuzzFeed, Forbes, Urban List, Broadsheet, Crikey, Time Out, Women’s Health & Fitness, Concrete Playground and Books+Publishing.
As a copywriter, I have developed copy for brands, agencies and organisations including Tundra, Ongarato Design, Playground Studio, BHP, Malthouse Theatre, T2, Self-Titled, Digital360, Dealcorp, Deakin University, SANE Australia, The Jacky Winter Group, Tribe Hotel Group, Grenade, Small & Co, Right Angle Studio, Sendle, Communications Collective, Melbourne Convention Bureau, iBuildNew, makersCo, Formula 10.0.6, BeinArt Gallery and The Fox Creative.
As an editor, I’ve provided structural edits to published books including Metamorphosis II and flagship publications such as the annual report at RMIT University. I’ve worked one-on-one with authors like Ben Sanders to perfect their manuscripts for submission and developed TOV guidelines for major brands.
Copywriting and content strategy is my bread and butter; it’s what I do best. From crafting website copy for leading law firms to drafting education brochures for Australia’s best universities, I’ve produced copy and marketed content for just about every niche or industry you can poke a stick at. I’ve even written daily horoscopes – and yep, I made them up completely.
If you’ve read this far down the page, you’re probably wondering two things: how can I help you, and is there somewhere nearby to get a snack? The answer to your first question is easy: by writing words that deliver information succinctly. Whether you have a property campaign that needs a creative copywriter, a growing business that needs a great website, or a brand story that’s begging to be told without boardroom clichés, I can help you. Drop me a line including as much detail as possible about your deadlines and deliverables, and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
My portfolio and testimonials are both great places to start if you want to read samples of my work or find out who I’ve worked with (and what they think of me!) Stick around and take a look at the rest of my website while you’re here. I’m proud of my work, I’m proud of my clients, and I’m proud of the words I’ve brought into the world.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading, running, or playing highly competitive games of Scrabble. But I like writing best of all.
