Rentaquill
Persuasive language matters.
Words are everything. Whatever you’re selling ~ yourself, a product, a service or a strategy – ~ great communication is vital. Some words are more powerful than others.
My name is Merryn Walters and I choose those words carefully.
Rentaquill Ltd. is the business name I’ve used for years, helping people to engage their audiences by using the right message at the right time. Email me.
ABOUT RENTAQUILL
If you’re in the UK, then you’ve read (or heard) my writing, that I can guarantee. It doesn’t matter if you’re a huge multi-national or a tiny one-man band, communicating effectively is hard work at the best of times. That’s where experience counts. Talent too, and a bit of common sense ~ but mostly experience.
As a generalist with 30 years of writing behind me, I’m well placed to help you start communicating in a way that really works.
Outside the day job? Google Merryn Walters and you’ll find me getting lost on purpose, writing about the Second World War in general and – at the moment – maps and mapmakers in particular.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society and a boot-wearing, badge-toting battlefield guide. Have pen, have passport, will travel. Happy to chat through a challenge, ready with ideas for new words to get things moving in the right direction.
powerful
writing
Language articulates what we’re thinking, but there are times when the words themselves will hold you back.
Let me show you how different words will amplify your message.
strategic
thinking
Do you want to educate and entertain, or move people to take action?
An edit. A rewrite. Or some soul-searching around your strategy, to start moving mountains and men.
effective
editing
Even though you’re writing well, sometimes a different voice is the best way to make yourself heard.
But contrary to what people tell you, ‘less is more’ might be a bad thing. Sometimes all we have to do is make your own words work harder, faster.
Testimonials
People have been kind enough to say…
“Clarity”
“Finally, I understand what each team is trying to bring to the table even though they can’t explain it. It was like finding meatballs in a bowl of spaghetti. This is now a strategy I can believe in – and so can they.”
CEO | British
“Dangerous”
“Thrilled with the result and startled at how effective it’s been. We thought simplicity would dilute our value but it’s had the opposite effect. Dangerously good. Must get this into every part of our business now.”
CEO | International
“Alchemy”
“It was un-nerving, seeing how different people reacted to the same speech. Thank **** we talked it through. Can only describe it as some kind of alchemy, watching you work with what I wanted to say – bringing it all together.”
High-profile | media
“Gentle force”
“Yes. You got it, and you got it quickly. Wouldn’t have believed it was possible to make a connection, they’re all so different. How did [-] put it, you’re a gentle force to be reckoned with? More like a velvet hurricane!”
Leader | political
“My critical friend.”
“I couldn’t afford a marketing person, but at the same time, I knew I needed one. Wanted to say thank you for listening, getting me focused, making so much possible and helping me grow, simple as.”
