Hi, I'm Michelle Jean & I am your next Creative Wordsmith

Copywriting is not just a job, and not just my passion - it's my calling! With 20 years of experience in copywriting and knowledge of design and SEO, you're looking at the full package to deliver you quality content that will hook your audience and bring you results!

What I bring to the table

Copywriting

SEO copywriting for websites, blog articles, content marketing, email marketing, digital newsletters, YouTube video scripts, social media marketing and advertising... heck, song lyrics. You name it, I write it ;)

Voiceovers

With my own home studio, I can provide quality female neutral English voiceovers for commercials, narration, YouTube videos, and more, complete with meticulous audio editing.

Design

Like this web page? I designed it! Website design, graphic design, YouTube thumbnails, Instagram content... I have an eye for aesthetics that can help create visually stunning imagery your audience will be attracted to.

About Me

Born and raised in Singapore, I followed love and found myself halfway around the world here in Belgium. Now I'm pretty much stuck. πŸ˜…

Copywriting is a big part of my identity. I really enjoy what I do, which people tell me is rare, so I'm very blessed indeed to have a skill I actually enjoy.

I didn't wake up one day and suddenly go, "I want to be a copywriter!" I don't think anybody does! I worked in radio, a multichain bookstore, a tertiary institution of education... and all throughout, it was the writing aspect I enjoyed the most. So I've decided, writing is what I want to do when I grow up! (Yes, I haven't quite grown up yet 😝)

Apart from writing, I enjoy artisanal soapmaking, animal communication, musicals, lounging in my hammock on a good day (rare in Belgium!) and pizza!

Why you should hire me:

  1. I'm a Native English speaker
    Not everybody knows this, but Singapore was once a British colony (and thus our education system follows that of the British), so English is our first language from age 3. I was singing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" as a toddler! Not that it's "English", but you get what I mean πŸ˜‚
    A good command of the English language means that I take note of detailed things like nuances and connotation, so as to present the best image and branding for your company.
  2. I am FUN!
    Why do people think because we sit at a desk and type all day that copywriters are boring people? My personality lends itself, not only to the office atmosphere, but also to my writing. Why write boring content nobody is going to read? Your audience is not an invisible, unfeeling entity, they are REAL people who want to be entertained and informed.
  3. I set high standards for myself
    I don't produce work that doesn't sit well with myself. No "doing work for work's sake". I only work on what I believe in, and when I do, I do it to the best of my ability. You won't find half past six work here with me!

Frequently asked questions

I currently hold an F+ card and am therefore allowed to work in Belgium legally without any work permit necessary.

English is my native tongue. Ik kan ook in het Nederlands spreken zowel als schrijven.

ε¦‚ζžœιœ€θ¦οΌŒζˆ‘δΉŸζ‡‚δΈ­ζ–‡ (Mandarin Chinese)

I do not speak French, sorry!

I am familiar with most Microsoft Word and Google suite services. I also own subscriptions to SEO software such as Semrush, KWfinder, Ubersuggest, NeuronWriter, WriterZen; AI text and image generation tools such as Jasper, ClosersCopy, LongShot, AISEO, AI Content Labs, GoCharlie, Word Hero, Nichessss, and more; as well as design tools - I have learned how to use Adobe suite tools such as Photoshop and InDesign, however they are less user-friendly and I have thus pivoted to tools such as Canva Pro and Simplified.

I do not own a car, so my main modes of transportation are an e-bike to the nearest train station (probably Gent-Sint-Pieters), and then via train.
