Are you working late again? Have a project that you can’t see the light on? Or are the projects just coming in too thick and fast? We’ve all been there – up all night thinking ‘how the what now!?’ is this ever going to happen. Looming deadlines can be the thing of nightmares. But for […]

A new year, a new decade, a new flurry of blog posts to commemorate the start of 2020. Rest assured, this isn’t one of them. Instead, and more significantly to me, it’s also been one year since I first began working at Word Monster (or 13 months, to be more precise – but December never […]

Dave is coming up to his first year as a medical copywriting and digital health consultant with Word Monster. To celebrate, we’ve asked him to put together his top tips on how to begin working in your own space.

You’ve probably heard the urban legend of the Oxford University applicant who, when told to get his interviewer’s attention, lit the dustbin on fire. And we’re pretty much now used to the frenzied scrutiny that accompanies a certain President’s every handshake whenever he meets another President, Prime Minister, or our very own Queen Liz (Fist […]

We sexed up* this brief to the max-core. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. Getting to know your clients personally is so important. It builds trust and creates an open, two-way relationship. It not only makes it more fun for everyone each time you pick up the phone or send an […]

The man behind the monster As featured on ProCopywriters Company Spotlight When and why did you start Word Monster?

Working in-house, I started to notice […]

You’re 2 in a million, Harry. It’s okay to be unique. It’s okay to be you. Harry has come on leaps and bounds in the last year. He’s even started a couple of days a week at nursery! We’re marking Rare Disease Day with a topical trip to Southampton Hospital for a neurology appointment. We’ve […]

Be brave they said. Be honest they said. So, this is the story, all about how, my life got twisted upside down. Wait, who let Will Smith in here…? Get outta here. You too, Carlton. This story is actually sang to the beat of Lukas Graham – 7 Years. Listening to the 7 Years song will help […]

We may be small, but we think big. We may not share the same office space, but we all share the same vision, work ethos and – perhaps the most important of all – a ruddy good laugh. Word Monster was founded on the basis of delivering exceptional work for our clients, while understanding that […]

We’re an enormous fan of freedom in the workplace, so there are only three things to remember: 1) Write With Bite (so we do great work and continue to build our reputation) 2) Write for 7.5 hours every day, and no more [unless you’re particularly keen for paid overtime] (so we get paid) 3) Keep […]

Welcome to Saima who joins us as a Medical Copywriter. Our first female monster in the troop. She’s been suitably named ‘Punzel’ after ‘Rapunzel’ for her lengthy locks, kind and personable nature, and desire to lift others up while letting her hair down. #copywriting #medicalwriting #monsters #joining #pharmaceuticals

I have joined a revolution: my work-life now works for me. I’ve become part of the Word Monster team, a medical writing agency start-up that is set to become the go‑to for science and healthcare writing agencies. Signing on the dotted line was a no brainer. I knew from the moment I saw the tone of job […]
