Amy Boulton
British Copywriter and Copy Editor based in Gothenburg Sweden
I specialise in writing and editing English language copy that explains and promotes ideas in a clear yet compelling way. While I mostly work with art and culture communications, I enjoy producing and editing texts for a wide range of sectors on a project basis. The type of content I’m most passionate about uses tech to help people explore places and build community - such as sharing economy apps, social activity networks and alternative city guides.
Work examples
Still from Run-Around, award-winning film by artist Katxerê Medina
Copywriting
In ten years of producing and editing texts for the arts, I’ve honed my skills in explaining complex ideas in simple terms. In artwork descriptions, research project outlines and exhibition introductions, I have a keen sense of what works and why. Whether art related or not, I can transform your text into an engaging read that captures your reader’s imagination.
Project examples:
- Publications by the University of Gothenburg (e.g. Stuck In The Middle With You, 2018 & RE:SEARCH, 2019)
- UX and UI copy for Hittapå app
- Academic essays, project titles and summaries for public artworks and exhibitions
