I’m a corporate copyeditor, proofreader and content writer with a weird obsession with rhtetorical grammar and punctuation. And I'm not afraid to use it.

I've squeezed a bigger-name client smoothie here. There are many, many more in the bowl too, though.

From-scratch blogs and thought-lead pieces for conveyancers and property professionals. I've been working with Landmark since 2022 and I've grown quite a fascination and fondness for the industry.

Each edition, a new NAJ Trello board appears with my subediting list. I edit articles about jewellery, the industry and its business in the Word docs that arrive, then proofread the pdf layouts before a final pass. It's a happy place.

Since 2014, I've been on the Wings for Life World Run team. Over the years, I've variously written copy for the entire website, for the app, for all email and newsletters, for press releases, for news and blogs.

This is one heck of a primer on the Middle East (or West Asia) following Amjad's astonishing, harrowing life as fixer for CBS. And he asked me to edit it. He paid me to read one of the best books I've ever read. My job is amazing!

A good old-fashioned dot-and-dash edit/proofread of Deloitte's 2025 Yearbook stories, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

This was a while ago, but WHAT a feeling! Walking through Dublin, on holiday, and BOOM: my words in Clarks' window. Seeing my words in my hometown is one thing, but seeing them in the wild is too exciting.

Member Bio

I’m Lucy Cripps, a master content writer, copyeditor and proofreader for show-off global corporates and a delightful family of companies in Bristol and the UK.

My bowler-hat formal to flip-flop breezy mastery of the craft helps you say what you want to say – the way you want to say it.

What can I write/edit/proofread for you?

Coming from an academic background of teaching English grammar, style and writing to undergrads, I’ve written across the board, for both established and start-up companies. I’ve written, edited and proofread research papers, B2B content, SEO-rich digital copy, B2C marketing emails and social copy, medical and science articles, content for the art and jewellery communities as well as tech and construction industries.

I’m a specialist generalist or a generalist specialist, a word architect, a content chameleon. I have a masters in professional writing, and I authored a commissioned book about American punctuation.

If you want someone who knows how to use language, look no further.
