About me

I’m a freelance writer and administrator, which is a job I feel like I’ve made up sometimes. It means I use my expertise in admin, organisation, communication, writing, and creative solutions to help others (mostly small businesses and charities). Sometimes I even get to colour-code, ooooh!

I spent the first part of my working life with no clue what I really wanted to do. After a while, I realised two things:

1. Everything being batted my way at work was admin-related;
2. I really love taking care of the organisational spinning plates (the stuff I’m good at) so I can watch others be freed up to do what they are passionate about (the stuff they’re good at).

With the support of The King’s Trust and their Enterprise programme, I took the plunge and set up Admin by Sarah in 2023. From content creation to updating policies, copywriting to being a sounding board, social media scheduling to filing: my joy is being a piece of the puzzle that genuinely makes a difference. (And I’m even more joyful with a cup of tea in hand.)

Having faced difficulties with my own mental health and with a huge heart for the one who doesn’t feel like they fit, I know that one size does NOT fit all; so my aim is to bring order to chaos by putting the human first and figuring out the system that works for their brain.

I’ve branched out to offer more writing to those I work with, and I’m currently up-skilling in copywriting so I can ensure my offerings are as polished as they can be. You can read more of my writing via my Substack blog: https://wordsbysarah.substack.com/
