This is me
I am a freelance copy and content writer based in Yorkshire. With 23 years’ experience working with everyone from startups to household brands, I specialise in developing concrete messaging strategies and narrative-led tone of voice that ensure you engage audiences more effectively and stand out.
If you need an expert eye to give your copy punch and craft and make sure your messages resonate, give me a shout. A complementary chat about bikes and/or books is available on request.
Fiction
I also write fiction. My short story MY TIME AT THE POISON FACTORY won the Leicester Writes Short Story Prize in 2025, and my debut novel LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS was published by Lendal Press in 2021. You can read more about all of that at www.mattcookwriter.com.
Films
I have had three short films produced and shown at festivals in the UK and abroad. Below is GARDENS WITH RED ROSES (2008) directed by Richard Oliver.
