The Heritage Writer

Looking for help with your heritage business writing and advertising? How does more visitors, more income and more community engagement sound?

My name is Janet and your heritage is my passion.

My storytelling-driven copy will ease any anxiety you feel around attracting more guests. If you’re looking for thoughtful, creative copy that makes history unforgettable, I’d love to connect and discuss how my skills could support your project.

Want to know how my copy might sound? I am currently writing updates on this website about the medieval Greyfriars building in Lincoln, take a look by clicking the link. Greyfriars was built soon after the Franciscans arrived in the city in the 1230s and is possibly the oldest surviving friary building in England. Heritage Lincolnshire are currently repurposing the building and bringing it back into public use. Lovely facts! But have a read to see how I have brought the copy to life through the use of human connection.

Our Heritage weaves us together—it’s the story we share, the legacy we protect. Through thoughtful copy, I help ensure these stories continue to inspire future generations. I believe historic sites deserve to be preserved, celebrated, and experienced by as many people as possible.

Crafted for museums, cultural sites, and heritage organisations, my signature Foundations Package will help you to communicate your story with clarity, warmth, and impact. The package includes:

  • Website copy refresh (e.g. homepage & about page)
  • Short blog post or article (500–700 words)
  • Social media captions (up to 10 posts, written, not scheduled)
  • Proofreading/editing of existing interpretive text (Up to 1,000 words of existing exhibit or signage text).

Package price £575

I have been writing for 8 years, and have just completed an MA in Creative Writing. I have self-published works of fiction, the latest of which is a fantasy called The Rue Stone, and I am also working on a medieval fiction novel called Benedict’s Song. I have trained in commercial writing, and am a unique blend of storyteller, business writer and heritage enthusiast. This gives me the edge when writing copy for heritage based businesses.

The Heritage Writer is a new business and as such if you book me for the Foundations Package, to start work on your project from February next year, I will discount 20% from the fee. This offer will be for the first three customer slots available in my calendar.

This discount will be on condition that you allow me to showcase your work on this website, leave me a review and allow me to use the work I do for you as a case study and in my portfolio.

Contact me now at theheritagewriter@gmail.com and let’s get you booked in the diary for your Spring refresh.
