Deborah Sutton – Website Content Writer, Editor, and Creative Writing Tutor

Websites need two things: Content – lots of it, and Good Editing – no typos or accidental howlers.

Web Content Writing

Your website content should be relevant, informative and easy to read. If it is also entertaining and attention grabbing you’re onto a winner. Ideally your web content will hit all five spots.

Writing on general interest topics, hobbies and crafts, local history, educational and how-to articles, Deb has strong research skills which enable her to root out the facts on just about anything and present them in a clear and straightforward manner.

She knows where words hide – she can dig them out for you.

Website Editing

Even people who don’t bother much about spelling and grammar in their own writing will spot mistakes in someone else’s – and nothing ruins your credibility or professionalism faster than poorly edited content on your website.

Are your words really saying what you want them to? Or are they shrieking with laughter over malaprops (can you dance the flamingo?) and misplaced apostrophes?

Deborah knows how words misbehave – she can tame them for you.

Creative Writing

Style, voice, plot, dialogue, characterisation, mood, setting and tone. They all matter. Get it right and your story takes wing. Get it wrong and your story won’t even get off the ground.

Sometimes it’s hard to see the wood for the trees in your own writing.

An honest, professional, constructive critique can help. It can tell you where your story is on track to help you build on what is right, and where your story is going wrong so you can pull it back into shape. You can either get a one-off critique or ongoing help and support.
