My Story
Hi. I’m Sarah Marshall, a British copywriter living in Spain since 2004.
Writing copy to help women like you grow your business is what lights me up.
And if I’ve got a cup of tea and a biccie to hand, well, so much the better.
But you probably want to know a little more about me than that, so here goes.
Dreaming big from rural roots
I live with my Catalan partner, our two daughters and a cat called Tali in Olesa de Bonesvalls, a small village tucked away in the mountains about 45 minutes from Barcelona. We love being at home but also travelling to new and familiar places, especially Crewkerne, the small town in Somerset, England where I grew up.
That’s why I love working with women and non-binary people with service-based businesses in the UK. You keep me connected to my roots. And I write English copy for locals and expats in Barcelona, Catalonia and across Spain, my adopted home. Though I’m happy to work with clients across Europe and North America, too!
When we work together, you’ll usually find me here at home in Olesa, dreaming big for you and your business.
The winding path to purpose
I lived in three cities and had a variety of jobs in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors before I found my place in the world and translation found me. All those experiences gave me plenty of practice writing nuanced texts for different audiences.
After 15 years as a freelance translator, copywriting called to me. I’d made so many strategic changes to my clients’ marketing content, I realised it was time to start writing the content myself. So I got a Diploma in Copywriting to expand and formalise my skills, and here we are.
I love the mental challenge of wrangling with words and the freedom of running my own business. Best of all, this work allows me to help women like you thrive as well.

5 little facts
- Long, long ago I did a degree in History and English Literature. It taught me skills that still come in handy when it comes to organising all the research I do for clients into cohesive copy that flows.
- My morning walk around my village is my favourite routine and gives me mental space for my most creative ideas to flow.
- Yoga keeps me feeling balanced. Nothing to do with copywriting, except who wants to work with an unbalanced copywriter?
- I’ve taken courses in website design, interior design, journalism and creative writing. When I write copy, I think about form and function, and always include easy-to-follow formatting instructions for web designers.
- Tea is my reason for getting out of bed in the morning, my afternoon delight and my evening relaxation. On my client calls, it’s highly likely I’ll have a cuppa on the go.
Why primarily female focused?
I’m a money feminist. The gender pay gap still puts us at a disadvantage in our present earnings, investing potential and future pensions. By giving your business engaging and effective copy, I hope to play a small part in helping you reach your money goals and achieving financial independence or even financial freedom.
Plus, as a long-term business owner and domestic CEO, I relate to other women who are trying to do it all. In 2023 I finally learned to ask for help from other professional women to take my business to the next level.
I began investing in my brand identity, working with a coach and paying for a cleaner. Great money decisions that free up time, give me clarity in my business and allow me to flourish in my zone of genius.
My goal is to make your life easier by covering all your website copy needs so you spend less time searching for and managing separate copywriters for your website copy, blog content and case studies.
