I'm an ex-fundraiser turned professional writer creating changing-making content for health and social impact organisations.

Inspiring change,

one piece of content at a time.

It's your story,
Written by Jen

Does your content feel tired? I get it. Turning complex health and social issues into clear, engaging content isn't easy. Especially when you're so deep into the subject matter you no longer hear the jargon.

The right words can change the world.

That's why, when you choose Written by Jen, you know you'll get clear, engaging and accessible content that leaves a mark well beyond the written page.

A special focus on global health

I didn’t set out to work in health. But when I found it, I knew it was where I was meant to be.

Backed by an MSc in Global Health and over 15 years work experience, I've written for nonprofits, agencies and major global institutions. Whether you're looking for website copy, whitepapers, op-eds or educational resources, I'm here to make sure your content is human and accessible.

Expert charity &
fundraising copy

Before I went freelance, I worked in fundraising. Starting out in trusts and foundations, I have worked with foundations big and small raising millions of pounds for social impact organisations.

Today I use that experience to offer my clients expert services that include grant writing, annual reports and direct mail.
