Travel Copywriter

Freelance Travel Copywriter

Hello! I’m Helen Batte, a professional travel copywriter and content creator. I specialise in creating clear, inspiring copy for travel brands, both online and offline. 

I’m a communications expert with more than 20 years of experience in the travel industry (shhh…!) at least 15 of those as a PR and copywriter. I’ve written for tourist boards, airlines, travel start-ups and established brands.

I have a diploma in freelance journalism & travel writing from the London School of Journalism and an advanced certificate in digital copywriting from the Institute of Data & Marketing.

Plus, I’m a Digital Mums graduate, always on the lookout for new tools to make remote working work even better. 

If you need the specialist skills of a flexible, freelance travel copywriter, please get in touch for a no-obligation quote, or email helen@thistravellingfamily.com.

My Services

Website Copy

Perhaps you’re a travel start-up looking to launch a website, an established brand with a new proposition to launch, or you just feel that your web presence needs a refresh – whether it’s a one-off project or an ongoing need, I can help with the words, with SEO in mind.

Blog Writing

With my adaptable tone of voice, I can tailor your blog to suit your brand and develop a strategy to get your key messages out and your audience engaged. From industry insights to light-hearted observations, blogging is my bag.

Content & Feature Writing

Whether it’s a travel story, review, round-up or guide you’re after (or a series of them), with my thorough research, industry knowledge and travel experience, I can put pen to paper (or finger to key) and create compelling content that will encourage clicks.

Press Kits & Media Releases

As an ex-travel PR, I know how to spin a good press release and pull together a one-stop-shop media kit; whether it’s for a destination or an event, a new launch or relaunch, I can help you find the words to sell your story.

Marketing Materials

A cornerstone of my communications career, finding the right words to sell travel experiences is second nature to me; give me e-newsletters, brochures, advertorials and case studies. If it’s complicated and needs simplifying, all the better!

Proofreading & Copy Editing

Sometimes (in fact, every time) you just need a fresh pair of eyes. Need someone to give your blog posts the once-over before you hit publish? Or maybe you have 1,000 words and space for 500? Losing words and streamlining copy is one of my favourite things to do!
