I’m Kelly Rose Bradford, journalist, content writer, copywriter and consultant

If you are looking for creative content, fabulous features or copywriting, you've landed in the right place.

I have been working as a journalist, writer and copywriter for over 27 years, alongside broadcasting (This Morning, Good Morning Britain, Sky News, BBC Radio), public speaking, lecturing and mentoring engagements.

I have written for almost all the UK’s daily newspapers and numerous magazines, from women's weeklies to glossy monthlies, trade titles and specialist publications. I have also provided commercial copy and content for big name brands, SMEs, and sole traders. Scroll down for links to just a few of the features and stories I have written.

What I do

Print journalism

Features, columns and opinion pieces for newspapers and magazines, covering everything from family, education, weddings, travel, interiors, food and pets. I also provide copy for membership magazines and business titles.

Digital journalism

I have covered shifts for parenting, showbiz and news websites, turning around breaking and time-sensitive stories and features, as well as writing freelance lifestyle, health and general women’s interest pieces for various online platforms.

Content for brands / businesses

I can write SEO-optimised copy tailored to your business, providing informative and relevant articles for your blogs and news pages, from storytelling and case study interviews through to evergreen and themed content. I can advise on tone of voice and help you create an editorial calendar to keep your content fresh and up to date.

Brand partnership features

I have written commercial content and brand partnership features for a wide range of companies, from BMW to British Horse Racing, Tena Lady to Tui Holidays, for both print and digital platforms. I also work with one of the UK’s largest news groups, planning and writing features for use across their magazines and supplements, as well as advertorial and sponsored copy.

Consultancy & training

If you are wondering how your competitors are getting quoted in the press as experts in their field, or how their products and services are popping up regularly in magazines or newspapers, and want in on the action, I can help!

Whether you are looking to take the first steps in promoting your brand through storytelling across your social media or website, or want to explore how to get further exposure for your business, I offer bespoke consultancy sessions either face-to-face or online. I work with sole traders, SMEs and beyond. My wealth of experience across newspapers and magazines means I have the insider knowledge and skills to help you produce exciting campaigns that journalists will want to pick up on, as well as equipping you with the know-how to write relevant, must-read content for your blogs and websites that will create a buzz around your business.
