More about Jay Pendragon:

Jay has been writing screenplays, fiction, and various kinds of copy for more than 15 years. Beyond that, they have helped students complete essays, reports, presentations as well as BA and MA thesis. Thanks to their own academic background, Jay is able to both proofread and uncover flaws on a structural level. 

Given Jay's profound grasp of English, they have been translating a variety of texts from German to English and vice versa for over a decade. Their BA in anthropology also helps Jay reflect cultural nuances in texts of any kind.

As a queer trans* person who has struggled with an eating disorder and depression, Jay specializes in topics like creativity, personal development, therapy and coaching, as well as queer/trans* life.

When Jay isn't writing email sequences or website copy, they aim to entertain with their original stories, inspire reflection in the audience, and contribute to a more inclusive, global media landscape. 

As a copywriter, Jay knows what's important: It's your vision – they just help express it better!

Project history

09/2020 - 10/2020
Website copywriter
Rachel Shenton (Media and Publishers, < 10 employees)

Rachel Shenton is a freelance video editor who often works as a 'ghost editor' for wedding videographers.
Yup, wedding videographers. As you can imagine, her workload suffered...

That's why she decided to diversify and launched a new product: 30SecondsOf. Basically, Rachel wades through your home video footage and edits it into memorable short pieces so that you don't have to!
These new services inspired her to give her website a much-needed overhaul. We know each other from my second short film (which I hired Rachel to edit), and we've fallen right back into a comfortable, productive workflow.

My tasks include:
  • restructuring her website
  • designing a homepage
  • updating website copy on all sites
  • add pages and content for products and services
  • write up several case studies of Rachel's past clients
  • develop an email strategy for her new email list
As of September 2020, this project is ONGOING. The updated website has gone live, yet some aspects of this are ongoing.

Lichtwerk Kino Schwandorf (Other, < 10 employees)

Lichtwerk Kino is a small cinema in a rural Bavarian town. From organizing a short film festival in 2018 until the third installment of our open-air cinema, I was responsible for the cinema's marketing on social media and in traditional outlets such as newspapers.

Recommendations

Swansea University
(ehemalige) Doktorandin (Claire Forster)
"Jay hat ein ausgezeichnetes Auge für publikumsangemessenen Ausdruck! Bei wissenschaftlichen Artikeln, ebenso wie informelleren Arbeiten die mit meiner Promotion in Zusammenhang standen, waren Jay's Kommentare sowohl produktiv als auch humorvoll geschrieben, sodass sie leichter umzusetzen waren. Zudem finde ich es hilfreich, dass Jay's Feedback oft in Form von Vorschlägen und nicht als 'Kritik/Verbesserung' erfolgen. So kann mensch abwägen, ob die Abänderungen zum eigenen Stil passen."
Studentin
Studierende (Leandra G)
"Im Vorhinein wusste ich, was für ein unglaubliches Text- und Sprachgefühl Jay hat, aber die Unterstützung, die ich bekam, übertraf sämtliche Erwartungen! Das Feedback war monumental hilfreich und ich war extrem beeindruckt von der Schnelligkeit der Bearbeitung. Es wurde sofort klar, dass jeder Kommentar immens durchdacht und fokussiert war. Ich habe stark von Jay's Arbeit profitiert, vor allem aufgrund der Aufmerksamkeit zum Detail und der Äußerung konstruktiver Kritik. Hut ab!"
