Lyndsey set up The Oxford Writer in 2018, after performing numerous ad-hoc copywriting and proofreading favours for friends and colleagues in the years preceding this. Having always loved any aspects of her jobs that involved writing and drafting content, she decided to pursue her interest by becoming a professional in copywriting and editorial content services.
As The Oxford Writer, Lyndsey works with businesses and individuals around the UK, fulfilling their written copywriting requirements.
She holds a BA Honours in English Literature from Swansea University, and a Masters in English Studies from Oxford Brookes University. A strong advocate of lifelong learning, Lyndsey has completed numerous creative writing courses at the University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education, and Cardiff University Continuing & Professional Education.
Prior to a career in copywriting, Lyndsey has worked in management consultancy, public relations, recruitment and education sectors. She has experience of working with the media, editorial writing and communications, and marketing events. You can read more about Lyndsey’s career switch in her interview with Careershifters.
Beyond paid work, she is passionate about helping others, and has been volunteering at her local foodbank since 2019. Whether it’s meeting and greeting clients or packing emergency food parcels, it’s a role that brings great fulfilment.
In December 2023, Lyndsey became a Social Media Advocate for The Trussell Trust where she voluntarily runs Abingdon Foodbank’s Instagram account to spread awareness of this vital community service. Inspired by her volunteering, Lyndsey has undertaken Suicide First Aid training and attends conferences and training supported by The Trussell Trust to help vulnerable people.
“I love helping people and I have always enjoyed tinkering around with words. Writing isn’t something that everyone feels confident about. My job satisfaction comes from helping clients to articulate their words, find their voice and tell their story.”
