Writing, research and strategic project support backed by 8+ years of experience.

Competitive content.
Compliant proposals.
Confidential consulting.

01ResearchUnderstand the brief, audience, market and evidence.
02StrategyFind the strongest argument and position.
03WritingTurn complex information into clear, persuasive content.
04Quality AssuranceCheck the detail, evidence, requirements and final result.

I’m a writer by trade, with a particular interest in the thinking that makes good writing work: understanding the subject, finding the argument, knowing the audience and choosing what matters.

For 8+ years, I’ve worked across tenders, funding, fundraising, technical content and communications. Much of that work starts with a subject I don’t know well. I research it, get to grips with the detail, ask the questions that need asking and shape the information into something clear, persuasive and purposeful. I also work with localisation, adapting content for different markets, audiences and contexts rather than simply translating it.

Why CC me in?

01

The deadline is closer than you'd like.

You need capacity now, not another permanent hire.

02

Your experts know the answer. They just don't have time to write it.

I turn subject-matter knowledge into a response that actually answers the question.

03

AI allowed. AI not allowed. Either way, I can help.

I can write from scratch when submissions prohibit AI, or review, rewrite and refine AI-generated content when it’s been used. Every final piece is checked for accuracy, context, tone, evidence, compliance and purpose.

04

You need an independent pair of eyes.

Someone outside the team can spot gaps, repetition, weak claims and unanswered requirements.

05

The opportunity is too important to wing it.

Bring in someone who knows how to work backwards from the brief, scoring criteria and deadline.

06

You need the work done without adding headcount.

Bring in specialist support for a project, a busy period or ongoing work without creating another permanent role.

PRICING

Pricing depends on the work. I offer project, day-rate and hourly options depending on what you need.

FAQ

A few quick answers.

What does a freelance bid writer do?

A freelance bid writer helps an organisation plan, write, edit and quality-assure responses to tenders, procurement opportunities and proposals. I can take on the whole response or provide support where your existing team needs it.

Can you find funding opportunities as well as write applications?

Yes. I can research and qualify opportunities against your organisation, project and eligibility before you invest time in an application.

Do you work with charities and community organisations?

Yes. Funding, fundraising, project development and professional writing are all part of the offer.

Can you work with our existing bid or fundraising team?

Yes. I can take ownership of a defined piece of work, add capacity during busy periods or provide independent review and quality assurance.

Can you support confidential or sensitive documents?

Yes. Much of my work is confidential, and I can support sensitive document review and FOI redaction where required.

Do you use AI?

This is up to the client and their scope. Personally, I only use AI where it could genuinely improve efficiency or support research, structure and QA. I don't treat AI output as finished work. Content is reviewed for accuracy, context, tone, evidence, compliance and purpose before it reaches the client.

Do you work internationally?

I’m a native English speaker based in Europe, and I work remotely with organisations across Europe, the UK, US and wider EMEA.
