Nicola Slade, Co-Founder and Owner of Virtual Angels

“Nicola and I met several years ago when we worked together at a not-for-profit; she came in as a temp and stayed forever! When I found out that she was writing professionally, she immediately sprang to my mind when I decided to completely refresh my website. 

Nicola was extremely patient with me during the process as I had quite an extended timeline due to some personal issues that arose. None of this phased her at all and she was delightful to work alongside. 

We had several video calls to discuss my business and my way of working and what is important to me when identifying new clients and building relationships. The copy that was written was perfect for my voice. 

Nicola kept me fully informed during the process and the project was delivered in plenty of time for the relaunch. I would be very happy to work with Nicola again and have no hesitation in recommending her skills and experience to anyone. 

Thanks so much Nicola, I thoroughly enjoyed working with you”.

“It has been fantastic working with Nicola - I love her writing style and she was a pleasure to deal with as she’s reliable, responsive and pro-active.

“Nicola’s articles are a real asset to our company blog; she instinctively understood our business and the tone/style we aim for straight away, and always delivers high quality content that’s well-researched, right for our audience, in keeping with our brand and voice but that also complements our own work by bringing a fresh perspective and insight.

Her reliability and communication around topics, timings and delivery is always excellent too”.

“Nicola is really engaged with popular culture, and this leads to great ideas for her blogs and articles.

She wrote a piece for my website, The Early Hour, and I was thrilled that 1. It was really interesting (and the readers loved it; it was shared online a whopping 416 times) 2. I didn't have to proof it. That's an editor's dream”.

“Nicola's writing has captured the voice of our agency perfectly. Whether she is interviewing our artists or writing biographies she always invests in research and understands what we are trying to achieve with the piece.

It's clear how passionate Nicola is and that she really cares about the projects we work on together. Her writing style is fabulous and always sets the perfect tone for our brand”.

“If you're looking for a writer who respects your voice, writing style and characteristics without compromising her own expertise as a writer, don’t look any further. 

I needed a copywriter to smoothen the copy for my upcoming website and to mix up my commonly used words and phrases with a more colourful vocabulary. 

Nicola easily simplified my lengthy sentences, sometimes technical terms, so that is clear, to the point and easily understood by everyone. She is a word wizard. Nicola constantly kept me in the loop, updated me during the process and her suggestions, changes were clear and easy to apply. 

Thank you so much for everything Nicola. I really can't wait to work together again soon”.

“We approached Nicola to perform a review of the L&D specific content for our website. 

Her approach was thorough and her responses were logical, well presented and hit the correct tone for our organisation. We implemented all her suggested changes and requested she wrote the additional content where it was required. 

Nicola’s copy needed no alteration or modification — this was such a relief and not what we have experienced with previous collaborations.”

“Nicola did a fabulous job writing the biography for our band, Akrobat.

It is quite easy to be pedestrian about such things, but Nicola probed and discovered what drove the band to play music, to create art, and what our aspirations are.

Nicola also wrote a great press release for our first single, which was very well received, and commended upon. She was also very responsive, friendly, and genuinely invested in her client, our music and her own art.

I highly recommend Nicola!”
