Our services
Which languages does Bwritr offer?
We offer mulitlingual copywriting, editing and proofreading services in English, French, German and Italian. We also offer translation and transcreation services in these languages, as well as many others. Contact us for more details.
What’s the difference between copywriting, proofreading and editing?
- Copywriting means creating a text from scratch, based on a brief.
- Proofreading means checking a finished text in detail for spelling, grammatical and formatting errors.
- Editing involves making more significant changes to a text, such as adapting the tone of voice.
What is transcreation?
Well-written text, badly translated, is a real opportunity missed. That’s why Bwritr offers ‘transcreation’ – the art of faithfully adapting great copy from most languages into equally great English and vice-versa. As well as understanding the essence of the text, we appreciate its cultural and commercial context, and the very specific nuances of language unique to English.

Industries & experience
Which industries does Bwritr work with?
Our writers have a truly varied background, and have worked on projects across luxury fashion, watchmaking, finance, sustainability and freight transportation, among many others. We are confident that any project can be completed to an exacting standard by our team.
Why do I need a professional writer?
Choosing the right words and style to get the results you need requires skill and experience. Our writers have a passion for compelling storytelling and brand building, helping audiences understand what is unique about your business or organisation.
If you are not a native speaker, we can also help you to make sure that your message comes across perfectly in another language.
How we work
I have an urgent project. How quickly can Bwritr start?
Thanks to our network of writers, we have the flexibility to start new projects quickly and ensure a fast turnaround. Drop us a line for more details.
We’ve decided to work together. What happens next?
One of our writers will give you a call to find out as much as possible about your project, as well as your goals and target audience. The more information you can give us, the better!
Next, we will write a first draft for you to review, followed by a second draft based on your feedback.
For larger projects, creating a short sample text can be the most efficient way to start. This helps us to find the right style, tone of voice and vocabulary.
Do I need to provide brand guidelines or a language style guide?
If your brand or organisation has a style guide, we will follow it closely to make sure that our texts are aligned with your brand voice.
If you don’t have a style guide yet, don’t worry: our writers are experienced in finding the right tone and language to use for any brand. If the budget allows, we can also create a style guide for you for future communications.
Fees
How much do Bwritr's services cost?
Our pricing varies according to the service(s) you need. We always provide a quote before we start work to give you full control over costs, and we include at least one rewrite in the contract. We will also be on hand to answer questions or discuss your project when it has begun, to ensure you're up to speed on its progress and able to feedback when it suits you.
If you have regular copywriting, editing or translation requirements, a monthly retainer contract may be the most cost-effective option. Contact us to discuss your needs.
