About Me

Image by Mikaela Jade.

As a writer with over 10 years' professional experience, I can help you convey your business' message to your audience in a way that is simple and digestible, while being informative and engaging.

I began my career as a journalist, first as a freelance writer for local magazines while studying for my degree in English, then, after graduating with honours, I became a full-time editorial assistant at a luxury lifestyle magazine, before progressing to content writer, then deputy editor at a national hair and beauty title.

Following this, I decided to take the path to become a full-time freelance writer. Since 2017, I have worked with independent businesses, agencies and influencers to create content that captivates their audiences.

Why employ me and not ChatGPT?

I believe we have a moral obligation to keep a human element to business. Your audience is human, so what better way to connect with them than with a human writer? I can write (good) humour; I can make obscure references to nineties pop culture; I can talk about an experience or product in a way that elicits a visceral response from the reader, allowing them to connect with your brand in a way that can't yet be facilitated by AI.

I'm also a brand geek. This means that, when we work together, I become a fan of your brand. From the ins and outs of your audience, tone, style, genre, to graphic elements such as the use of imagery, typography and colour palette, I commit to understanding your branding just as well as you do. This helps me tailor my writing style to fit your business.

Experience

I have worked with a number of different content management systems in a range of formats. The CMSs I have experience with include Wordpress, Blogger, Webflow and Squarespace. I also have experience with Substack, Mailchimp, Shopify, Podio, Trello, Later, and a range of other platforms. I can also learn new software quickly, and adapt to your business' needs.

I have experience writing B2C as well as B2B, in the sectors of: fashion, beauty, lifestyle, travel, pet care, horticulture, psychology, gynaecology, rheumatology, recruitment and human resources.

If you have any questions, please contact me at jenloumeredith@gmail.com

I hope we can work together!

10 essentials for a cosy office space


A cosy office space isn't difficult to create, but it can make a huge difference in terms of your happiness, comfort and general wellbeing.

My office space used to be far more practical than comfortable, but this meant that I would wake up in the mornings with the thought that I would have to sit down all day in a space that I really didn't enjoy being in, and it would put a dampener on my whole day.

Now, alongside a cosy morning routine, I actually look forward to my day of work, and I leave my office with a feeling of content at the end of the day.

Here are a few of the products that help me achieve a cosy vibe in my office:

1. Pastel keyboard, £29.99

It's important to use a keyboard that is comfortable for your hands, especially if, like me, you're typing all day. This keyboard not only looks great, but feels great too!

Buy it here.



2. Laptop stand for desk, £27.99

If you find that your neck is stiff at the end of the day, it's probably because your screen is at the wrong height. This laptop stand can prop your laptop or screen up a few inches, which can make a huge difference to your posture in the short and long term.

Buy it here.



3. Ergonomic desk chair, £125.99

Your number one investment for your office, besides high quality tech equipment, is a comfortable, supportive chair. I would spend between £100 to £170 on a good office chair, especially if you'll be sitting on it for most of the day.

Buy it here.


4. Humidifier, £13.98

Often, the air in offices can be dry, which isn't great for your skin. This humidifier does what it says on the tin, and it looks great too!

Buy it here.


5. Plant station, £11.99

I always think it's important to have greenery in an office space, as plants are said to increase wellbeing and purify the air. This plant station is ideal if you don't have room for large plants in your office.

Buy it here.

6. Alexa-controllable LED strip lights, £35

I've wanted LED strip lights for so long, and these are so much more affordable than some of the larger brand names out there, but they still do the same thing! They're Alexa controllable, which means that I can say a command like 'turn on the lights', and these strip lights will come to life.

Buy it here.


7. LED Digital Wall Clock, £29.99

I'll be honest, I really don't like the sound of a ticking clock, so this digital clock is perfect for when I need to quickly glance at the time. Plus, you can choose different colours to create an ambience in your space.

Buy it here.


8. Desk foot rocker, £41.95

My legs often start to feel stiff if my feet aren't raised up slightly, so this foot rocker is the perfect height for that. Plus, it helps when I'm feeling fidgety, as it rocks with my movement.

Buy it here.


9. Ceramic mug with lid, £15.99

When you hop on a Teams call, before you know it, half an hour has passed and you coffee has gone cold. With this lidded mug, that doesn't have to be the case. Plus, it comes with a gorgeous gold stirring spoon for an extra touch of elegance.

Buy it here.


10. Vertical laptop dock, £29.20

This is great for people who connect their laptop to a larger screen, as it saves space on the desk. It's also ideal if you like to keep your desk tidy while it's not in use!

Buy it here.
