If you’re looking for help with your content projects you’ve come to the right place.
My name is Maria Shahid and I work with brands both independently and alongside agencies, designers and other writers to create content that makes brands stand out from a crowded market.
My content experience spans print, digital and film.
By partnering with my clients, I write the words that help you make an impact, allowing stories to be told in different contexts.
My experience spans white papers, thought leadership reports, copywriting associated with rebrands and mergers, market commentary and updates as well as blogs.
My editorial experience spans over 20 years, so when it comes to content I speak with some authority.
If you’d like to find out more about my experience and specialisms please visit the ‘About’ page or use my ‘Contact’ page to get in touch.

What others say:
“Maria is a wordsmith. She's also a superb business writer. If you need powerful copy, done on time, and crafted by someone with whom you'll enjoy collaborating -- she is the one.” Thomas Freeman, Director of Communications, Cooley LLP
“Maria asks all the right questions at the start of a project to make sure she can deliver exactly what's needed. What really lifts her work is the fact she is very well connected with contacts who trust her, and she works to get access to those she doesn't know.” Eduardo Reyes, Features Editor, Law Society Gazette
“Maria has proved to be a great asset to our content development team when formulating articles for a specialist insurance client. She consistently provides well written and researched content about a range of fairly complex subject areas, which have been received well by the client. Maria has also been able to work to fairly tight deadlines and we are grateful for all her hard work.” Account Manager, Infinite Global

A simpler approach
Simplicity is key to everything I do. Why use three words when one will do? Why use technical language when simpler words will reach a wider audience?
I apply this same approach to my projects: I make it clear from the outset how I work. Where possible I will quote a project price. If that is not possible, I will give you a daily or a per word rate.
More information on this is available under ‘My terms’.
