Words can change lives
Your own. Other people’s.
You’re here because you know that. Or suspect as much. Words are the connective tissue that help us feel understood. By other people, and – just as importantly – by ourselves.

Ourselves
As life does its thing, pulling you this way and that, writing is your anchor and your compass. Developing and nurturing a personal writing habit will help you connect back into yourself. Which is essential to taking wise action in your life and work.
Everything competes for your attention these days. And where do you most need to give your attention? You know this already – to yourself. Writing is a powerful way home. And it can be fun.

About Me
I’m Gayle, and I’ve been helping values-driven business owners with their words for over five years. Since then I’ve also hosted numerous writing retreats and courses to help people tune into themselves through writing. Basically I live and breathe words. I’m a bit of an etymology geek with a Latin A-Level to her name. But mostly I care about how words and people come together. I love how words can open up worlds. I’d love to help your words and world open up too.

Somehow you have turned my jumbled up thinking into a structure with purpose. Not only do I now feel confident about getting started, but I’m really excited too! It really was money well spent and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to others. In fact I already did – today!

Even at our initial meeting, as we talked over ideas, I knew that Gayle was the right person to work with. She instinctively knew what I was trying to say. I feel that Gayle really got me, she captured my story and what my business stands for and this really comes across in the copy. Gayle is clearly passionate about what she does and is very talented!

I’ve loved wordspill, it’s helped me do what I intended to integrate and reflect on my lockdown experiences; I feel more connected to myself too and so enjoying playing with other parts of me. It was very powerful.

I loved the courageous vulnerability and kind generosity fostered within the group and the lovely ebb and flow of both gathering together and working in solitude.

My website is my shop window, and needs to engage potential customers. In the intensity of starting a business, finishing my old job and entering lockdown, writing my own web copy was just not happening. I commissioned Gayle to write most of my webpages and help me find the voice of my business. Gayle made the process enjoyable and interesting, and the final web copy is beautiful. I frequently receive compliments on how much my passion for the work flows from the words – which is wholly testament to how well Gayle understood and captured what was needed.

4 ways ‘you can’t write it wrong’ with reflective writing
One of the tenets of reflective writing, the sort of writing we do in Wordspill, is that you can't write it wrong. It's a simple phrase to remember, and one I repeat often when facilitating groups. But what does it really mean? In this blog we'll break it down. ...
Want to write sparky, helpful content? Do more with less.
I work with values-driven businesses. People who do what they do because they want to help others. Because they want to make people's lives better. So, of course, they need to ensure their words make an impact. They need to write helpful content. And it needs to...
The 3 big differences between reflective writing and copywriting (and why you need both in business!)
My writing life features both copywriting and reflective writing. I've broken the marketing rules and failed to 'niche' - silly me. But. apart from simply wanting to earn my crust doing a variety of things I enjoy, whatever the rules say, there's a good reason for...
