Melbourne copywriter and content writer Rachael Whitsed at her desk.

Hi, I’m Rachael.

I’m a Melbourne-based copywriter and content writer. Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet!

I’m first and foremost a storyteller. With a background in screenwriting for television (and many years acting & singing on stage before that), I bring a goal-driven, emotion-led, conversational, fun and approachable vibe to everything I write.

Getting to the heart of a person’s vision and telling their story through the power of creative language is what I do best.

Over the years working as a professional writer, I have realised one glaringly obvious trait about myself - I’m an all-or-nothing type person. I don’t do things by halves. I put my whole self into every project I work on. My standards for my work are extremely high, my attention to detail fine-tuned and my commitment unwavering. When we work together, you’ll be bringing someone on board who’s just as driven to reach your goals as you are.


I’m also:

  • A girl mum (to both the dog and human kind).

  • A shameless pop music lover.

  • An old building enthusiast (give me an old cathedral or a grand old house to stare at any day).

  • Happiest exploring Victoria with an açai bowl and oat latte in hand (extra hot please and thank you!)

Slow morning drinking coffee & doing The Weekly Fifty quiz (it’s amazing - get on it), walking the dog with the fam, playing tennis, going out for pizza & watching a great movie.

Apparently I say “cool” a LOT. (Don’t worry, I won’t put it in your copy, ok? Cool.)

Switching off my brain for a while in a cardio class at the gym.

Your comfort TV show?

Usually in the middle of the night when I’m trying to sleep. How rude!

Avocado, coconut yoghurt and usually some sort of incredible baked good my
Mum’s made and brought over.

Lover by Taylor Swift (our wedding song).
