John Ashton

The Overlord

As a journalist, John has written for national newspapers and has authored numerous books. As a copywriter, he has worked for all kinds of public, private and third-sector organisations.

He founded Write Arm in 2012 with the bright idea of exploiting the talents of a throng of gifted writers, then retiring to a tropical island. It didn’t quite work out that way as he found that he rather liked the buzz of meeting clients and winning new business.

These days he’s usually to be found managing projects and staring at spreadsheets.

The island can wait.

Richard Attlee

The Voice

A seasoned voiceover artist, Richard’s silky tones have breathed life into video games, cartoons, English language courses and radio dramas, and much more besides. He has also given voice to numerous corporate clients, including Ernst & Young and Genworth Insurance.

When not creating aural Armageddon for ‘Total War: Warhammer’ you can find him in the gentle surrounds of Ambridge, where he plays the irrepressible Kenton Archer in the world’s longest-running soap opera.

Louise Bolotin

The Punctuator

Louise has a long track record in editing, subediting and proofreading for a huge range of magazines and corporates. Her clients have included the Open Data Institute, Recruitment and Employment Confederation, the European Bank for Research and Development, and Manchester City Council.

When not nitpicking over the difference between which and that, she writes – her words have been published in the Guardian, the Observer, Best and Big Issue in the North, to name a few.

She lives in Manchester, where it doesn’t rain half as much as people think it does (which is still twice as much as anywhere else).

We’ve been working with Write Arm for several years, during which time the team there have written dozens of feature articles for us. Our relationship with Write Arm means we are able to instantly scale our editorial resource to match our required output. We know we can be confident in the quality of the copy we’ll receive and we know it will always arrive on (and often well before) deadline. Most importantly, the team at Write Arm are a pleasure to deal with, and are always available to help with any editorial request.

We have been working with the Write Arm team since 2018. They were hired based on a competitive tender to write copy for a biennial report website. At short notice, we also needed a printed report, written in a formal annual report style. They met this challenge and delivered two excellent products, on time and on budget. We were pleased that Write Arm won the tender and that we will have the benefit of their expertise and support this year.

We’ve been using Write Arm on an ad hoc basis to source writers with niche expertise to supplement our in-house team. Despite often giving them extremely short notice and very specific asks, they’ve managed to come back fast with options for potential people, and proved very flexible and understanding when plans have needed to change – and all at extremely reasonable prices.

The proof to us that the copy is working is that potential clients are showing their excitement for what we are doing, how we are doing it, and… we are winning business. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Write Arm, and will continue to work with them on all our future projects. Thank you Write Arm!

I’ve worked with Write Arm across multiple content projects across different companies and industries. Whatever the brief, they are always able to source the right copywriter to deliver high quality writing on time, whether it’s a short blog post or in-depth whitepaper, so I can get our projects published and delivering results quickly. Write Arm continues to be my first port of call for any key content brief.

Having worked with several copywriters in the past, I very much appreciate the journalistic approach of Write Arm. The way I was interviewed really teased out all the ideas that were quite nebulous in my head and made me consider what I was trying to achieve with my messaging and who I am trying to target. A true partnership approach that has worked very well for us.
