About ARP Writing

Get to know more about us

ARP Writing has been helping businesses and individuals with their written projects since 2016.

The driving force behind us is Andy Pickering – here’s a bit about him in his own words:

 

“Hi, I’m Andy and I am a professional freelance writer based between York and Leeds. I have always been passionate about writing although, originally, I trained as a lawyer. I attained my law degree, completed my Legal Practice Course, and then spent nearly 8 years working in law.

My legal background means that I am ideally suited to delivering written projects for law firms. Legal articles and blog posts are a particular specialty of mine.

I enjoyed many aspects of legal work: the research; using words to persuade, explain, and reassure; the logical construction of argument and counter-argument; and the underlying theory. Perhaps most of all though, I loved using my skills to help others. My writing work allows me to continue helping people, allowing businesses to realise their potential by getting their message across.

Aside from honing my abilities with language, my training means I possess the research skills to produce compelling content on any subject. In my spare time, I enjoy writing fiction and I am currently working on a book for young readers.”

Why choose ARP Writing to help you?

Search engines are adopting increasingly sophisticated methods to find the best results. This means you need high quality writing just as much as the right keywords.

Great writing works with all elements of your website – images, style, layout – to create one compelling impression. Without effective copywriting it won’t bring you any business.

You know what your business stands for, but getting that across takes expertise. Great writing allows you to explain how you stand out and send your message loud and clear.

Marketing materials are there to sell your business. Effective writing doesn’t just explain what you do; it explains why people should choose your business to do it for them.

Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and confusing sentences can all undermine the force of your message. They also give a poor impression of your business.

Time is precious, and writing effectively can take up a lot of it! Hiring a professional allows you to concentrate on your business, whilst still benefitting from high-quality written material.

In our clients' words...

"Over the years Andy has worked with me on a number of blogs and articles as a copywriter which has added to the quality of my work. He understands my style and marketplace. In responding to the time demands of producing these he goes the extra mile. His skills in proofreading and creativity have been invaluable to polish my content. He also took away the grind of proof reading drafts of my book 'Business Skills? Don’t be daft I am a lawyer!’ which I found priceless. He is a joy to work with and I highly recommend him."

“We instructed ARP Writing to assist recently with an awards submission. From the onset we were very impressed with the speed and attention to detail with which Andy approached the task. He pointed out things we might not otherwise have considered, gave helpful feedback and tips and was a real pleasure to deal with."
