Me

Writing for a living.

I still can’t believe I get to do this.

 I started my copywriting career between school and university at Cobra Beer, where I wrote press releases, back-of-pack copy and more. After my degree, I landed a job at Virgin Media, starting as a junior copywriter and ending as a senior one before moving on to the role of Lead Writer at Eurostar for four wonderful years. It was there that I won a Transform Award for Best Copy/Tone of Voice 2014 for Eurostar with The Clearing.

I’ve been full-time free range for almost a decade, loving the variety of my work and the time and space to give every client the attention they deserve.

Behind the laptop

I always have a novel on the go and will get palpitations if I leave the house without one.

For the last ten years I have helped to run a small charity called The My Body Back Project, providing essential healthcare to people who have experienced trauma.

I love to eat food, cook food and think about food. I am doing at least one of these things at any given time.

“We’ve been collaborating with Friya for about [four years] now, and I really enjoy working with her.
Thus far she’s written for several of our clients and managed time and again to dive into their brand and briefing picking up all the right elements to deliver fresh copy reaching its goal.

What I really love about Friya, apart from her writing skills, obviously, is her kind way of communicating, making you feel connected and working on a project as a team.”
