About me
Hello.
My name is Deborah James, and I've been enjoying life as a freelance copywriter and journalist for 17 years.

Once upon a time
In 2005, armed with my shiny new journalism qualification, I became an over-eager ‘entertainment reporter’. This turned out to be 14-hour shifts writing about Big Brother contestants, or making up horoscope predictions.
Then a job came up at UKTV as a copywriter working across their lifestyle channel websites, and I never looked back. Covering all their food, home and comedy content, I got to write about what I loved best while learning digital marketing wizardry.
I set up my own company Content Monkey in 2009 to work on the different projects that started coming my way. I’ve now worked with some of the biggest household-name brands. And I’ve also been lucky enough to lend a helping hand to many tiny startups getting their businesses off the ground.​​

That’s my story, now let me tell yours
