Natalie Baker
Freelance copywriter
Hello there.
I'm a freelance copywriter, which means I construct seemingly effortless sentences so you don't have to.
Following a degree in Creative Writing, I pursued a career in book publishing, before delving into the world of freelancing. I've provided my services to KPMG, SAP, TEDx, BBC, The Open University, CIPD, Moss Bros, Unbiased, Achilles, Pure Search and Igloo Books.
A versatile and comprehensive writer, my work incorporates anything from corporate reports on HR and recruitment, to topical articles on veganism and period poverty.
