Write like the
future depends on it.

Practical skills to help you turn information into clear, engaging content that supports real-world change.

Are you struggling to get your message across?

You’re not the only one. Every day, you’re expected to write emails, stories, reports, funding bids, campaigns and updates—switching styles and formats at the drop of a hat.

But everyone just assumes you can. No one ever taught you how to write well, or adapt your work to different audiences.

The reality? Hours are lost staring at a blank page. You overthink every sentence, take too long to get words down, and still feel like your message isn’t quite landing.

Content Companions is an 8-week writing coaching programme designed specifically for nonprofit professionals.

Delivered in eight one-hour sessions (plus a kick-off session), you’ll build your skills week by week, learning tried-and-tested techniques you can put to work straight away.

By the end of the programme, you’ll be able to:

  • Get started faster (no more blank page dread)

  • Structure your ideas so they make sense to your reader

  • Choose words that are clear, natural, and effective

  • Edit your work with confidence

  • Write in a way that connects with real people

Writing coaching for nonprofit professionals

Your writing coach

I’m Jen, a senior nonprofit professional turned copywriter and communications specialist. With 15 years’ experience, I help nonprofit, agency, and international institutional clients turn complex ideas into clear, effective communication.

It works because I’ve been where you are.

I’ve written the bids, made the ask, sent the reports, and built campaigns from the ground up. Now, I bring that experience to my freelance work—creating content, shaping strategy, and supporting high-level events and award-winning campaigns.
