Sydney Freelance Copywriter

Hi, I’m Debbie Elkind, a freelance copywriter based in Sydney.
I have two decades of experience working across media, marketing and advertising. I’ve worked with start-ups in Silicon Valley; written scripts for television and radio; filed feature articles for prominent newspapers and magazines; been a copywriter for advertising agencies; and worked with the public sector and not-for-profits. These days I specialise in content marketing and digital copywriting, working with government, SMEs, and not-for-profit organisations.
From food to finance, technology to tourism
A former food writer and restaurant critic, I love writing about food, home cooking, and hospitality. I also have considerable experience working with financial services and technology clients. Working with government agencies including Tourism Australia and Placemaking NSW, I’ve written about Australia and NSW’s many incredible destinations and produced campaign copy for large events.
Other valued clients past and present include Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Brain Center Japan, Placemaking NSW, the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Headspace, and Mission Australia.
Why hire me?
