Copywriter & communications consultant

I’m Suzanne Elsworth – a writer, editor, proofreader and communications specialist based in Cumbria. I can offer a ‘pay-as-you-go’ writing service for your business or organisation – whether you want a one-off news release or newsletter, a regular stream of communication with your customers, or even a lovely traditional piece of print.

I’m also available for long term projects, working with you on regular days or bigger initiatives. I craft words for magazines and newspapers, commercial clients and charities, local authorities and universities. After more than 20 years in the business, I reckon I can write for anyone!
Need a copywriter? I’d love it if you got in touch.

Suzanne Elsworth is top drawer. She gets it. From a broadcast perspective, she understands what's required, from the logistics to editorial. The phrase 'people person' is often overused but in Suzanne's case it is entirely appropriate. She has a natural ability to put people at ease, which leads to engaging and insightful conversation and results in cracking material.
She takes the brief and gets on with it. If you need something done well, Suzanne will deliver.

I’ve worked with Suzanne since 2010 and during that time she’s proved herself to be an excellent journalist who can turn her hand to any subject. Astute, capable and professional, she is a team player who can motivate others to achieve results. Despite setting her some very tight deadlines over the years, she has never let me down and will go out of her way to produce the best possible content however pressed for time. As well as her journalistic skills, Suzanne’s friendly and approachable nature makes her a fabulous person to work with.
Claire SherwenContent Development Editor, Newsquest
I’ve worked with Suzanne on many Chamber of Trade projects over the last few years and I can truly say 'she gets it'. She’s professional, knowledgeable and passionate, from crafting news releases, arranging TV and radio appearances, to creating beautiful editorial for our marketing initiatives. A personal highlight is our now very popular Cockermouth Town magazine – it is just quality. Suzanne is organised and efficient, plus she’s always on hand if any reassurance is needed! The Chamber is very lucky to have her in our team and I thank her for all she does, most of which is behind the scenes.
