I am a writer / copy-editor / proofreader with a background in professional engineering, a talent for written communication, and a desire to help others write well. The versatility of my editing skills is demonstrated by the fact that I have edited over 120 academic documents, 28 book manuscripts (art and cultural history books, biographies, memoirs, a book on economics, and two novels) for Unicorn Publishing Group (UK), 90+ essays for Quillette, and I provide ongoing editing services to industry newsletters in both the UK and USA. If you need a whitepaper or case study written, I am an avid researcher, an inveterate fact-checker, and an accomplished report writer. If you need blog articles, I can do those, too. If you know what you want to say, but not quite how to say it, let me show you.

*Portfolio samples available upon request or invite You know your business like the back of your hand. You know your vision. You see the potential. Everyone close to you can see it, too. But how do you capture that electric, face-to-face passion in your website, emails, ads, social media, and more? I’m a social-work-inspired copywriter, so my superpower is in asking you the right questions, listening for the gold, then translating those deepest benefits into exciting offers and clickable actions. I also have a good design eye and have both written and designed webpages using Squarespace and Wix. (I have also provided copyediting services in the past, so if you have a project you’d like my particular set of eyes on, feel free to reach out.) I’m a Californian living on the lovely coast New Zealand. I have worked professionally in both countries and am able to write/edit both American English and British/Australian English. I have written, designed, and edited everything from: ~ full websites, brochures, and social media posts ~ to court documents, therapeutic care plans, and psychological assessments, ~ to published printed children’s books, mindfulness journals, and poetry, ~ to eBooks and eGuides. Any project I take on, I deeply care about and will treat as my own. After working extensively within the foster care system in two different countries (and facing burnout), I took a break and found myself still helping bring people’s goals to life — just with words. And I realized something: My social work superpowers had turned me into a magical marketer. Looking forward to learning more about you creating messaging that’s as powerful as your mission. Sincerely, Alicia C., MSW

If you run a B2B service business, tell me if this sounds familiar... - You're worried about where your next client is coming from. - You feel guilty when you're with your family because you're not working. - And you feel guilty when you're working because you're not with your family. - You can't take a vacation without spending half of it on your laptop. - Your hair is going 50 shades of grey from the uncertainty. And deep down you know - you don't own a business. You own a very expensive job. Well, if you want to fill your pipeline and close more clients... You usually have 3 options: 1️⃣ Hire someone in-house, pay them big $$$ while they "figure it out" for 6 months. 2️⃣ Put your trust in agencies who charge you $5,000, outsource your work to the Philippines. 3️⃣ Do it all yourself. Miss little Jimmy's baseball games. And get 3hrs sleep per night. Every one of those makes YOU carry the risk. Thankfully, there's a 4th option... Partner with Dopamine Digital - and only pay when a qualified prospect actually shows up to a meeting. No setup fees. No 6-month "ramp." No paying for activity. You pay for booked, qualified, shown-up sales calls. That's it. Here's how it works: 1) We build you an offer for cold traffic. because your warm won't work on cold traffic - TRUST me. 2) We scrape your entire market and enrich it with AI signaling, so we reach out with relevance. 3) We build, run and manage the outbound email + LinkedIn machine for you, 100% for FREE. You just show up to the calls we put on your calendar and close. So you can finally escape the "feast-or-famine"... And have PREDICTABLE growth. "Yeah yeah, heard it all before." - I hear you say. Fair. Here's the proof: 🤝 Vidello - Rebuilt and automated their sales processes. Result? Multi 7-figure exit. 🤝 Goldphish - Got burned by agencies. Now? "flooded daily with quality leads." 🤝 Ripple - Great product, no pipeline. After 60 days: First revenue and 3 signed partnerships. So look, if that sounds interesting then here's my offer to you... Send me a message, and we'll set up a free 30-min call. We'll audit your offer, pipeline, and tell you exactly what's broken and how to fix it. If it's NOT the most valuable 30 minutes you've spent on your business this year, I'll send you a $10 Starbucks gift card so you can buy yourself a vanilla oat milk latte to cry into.

Here's why I'm not your average copywriter: 🎓I Have Three Degrees: English, Law, and Philosophy. This means I know how writing works on a structural and technical level, but I’m also no stranger to thinking outside the box. Plus, if I didn’t tap out on years of dissecting legal jargon you know I’ll stay loyal to your far more exciting project. 👨🏻‍💻5+ Years of Copywriting Experience: I started before AI made everyone think they could write. In that time, I’ve tackled almost every niche: travel, science, agriculture, business, alpaca wool, tractor simulation software, adult toys (the list goes on and yes, it gets stranger). 📈SEO Expert: Many writers claim their articles are SEO-optimised only for you to realise months later (after you’ve paid and praised them) that your traffic hasn’t budged. I use keyword research tools and competitor analysis software to give you a clear, data-backed picture of how your content is expected to perform before it goes live. 🧨Disruptive Marketing Maverick: The hardest thing about ad copy? Standing out. Anyone can create a tagline but not everyone can create a scroll-stopping one. As the head copywriter at a marketing agency, I was the go-to for cheeky, rebellious writing leading to dramatic increases in leads across multiple platforms. 💡Creative Thinking: Yes, I can craft the polished, professional copy most clients love but I’m also a favourite for brands that want a creative edge. I’ve ghostwritten a novel, had short stories and poetry published, and scripted short films. In other words, I’m anything but boring. 🎯Exemplary Job Success Score: Not convinced by now? Don’t listen to me - look at what others have to say. Upwork considers a 90%+ Job Success Score excellent, and, well… not to toot my own horn, but with countless glowing reviews, I’d say that checks out. Wait... Are We the Right Match? I have a high client satisfaction rating for a reason: I’m choosy. I don’t take on just any project: I work with people who are as passionate about their craft as I am about mine. If you need a writer to churn out generic content just to meet a quota, I’m not your girl. But if you’re obsessed with what you do and just need help putting it into words — words that captivate, convert, and make people feel something—then let’s talk.
