The Turn of Phrase
A team of dedicated freelance writers
About us
There’s nothing we enjoy better than turning a phrase to help businesses achieve their goals with style.
We take great pleasure in writing for clients ranging from political press agents to start-ups, manufacturers and retailers.
Everybody who turns a phrase comes from a strong research background in either the humanities or the sciences or both. All of us are freelance writers with distinguished publication records across a very wide board. And our proven track record extends back a couple of decades.
