The channel you own, written like it matters.

Email sequences, campaigns and newsletters for businesses sitting on a list they barely use.

Email & Newsletter Writing by Paul Wakefield, experienced UK commercial writer

What you're actually buying.

Email is the only audience you actually own. No algorithm decides who sees it, and the people on the list have already put their hand up.

Most businesses still treat it as an afterthought: an occasional 'newsletter' full of company news, sent whenever someone remembers.

I write email that people open on purpose — welcome sequences that do the selling for you, campaigns built around one idea, and newsletters with a reason to exist.

Who this is for

Ecommerce

Welcome, abandoned basket and campaign sequences that pay for themselves.

Course and product sellers

Launch sequences that build a case rather than shout about a discount.

Service businesses

Nurture email that keeps you in mind until the moment they need you.

Founders with a list

A regular newsletter you don't have to write yourself.

What's included

  • A sequence map showing what each email does and why
  • Subject lines written and tested as part of the work, not bolted on
  • Copy in your voice, built on real customer objections
  • Clear single calls to action, one per email
  • Plain formatting notes so anyone can build them in your email platform

Pricing

  • Single emailFrom £300
  • Email sequenceTypically four to six emailsFrom £1,200
  • Newsletter writingFrom £750/month
  • Full lifecycle programmeQuoted individually

Sequences are quoted on the number of emails, the research needed and the stakes.

One email, one job

The commonest mistake is trying to do everything in one send: three offers, five links and a company update. Readers do nothing when asked to do several things.

Each email I write has one idea and one action, and every sequence has a shape — where it's going and why anyone should stay on the list.

Newsletters that survive month three

The hard part of a newsletter isn't the first issue, it's the twentieth. That's a process problem as much as a writing one.

I work to a monthly rhythm with a planned angle for each issue, built from your expertise, so nothing gets sent just to fill the slot.
