Rentaquill
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. I choose those words carefully. Rentaquill Ltd. is the business name I’ve used for years, helping people to engage audiences by using the right words, at the right time.
As a generalist with 30 years of writing experience, I’m well placed to help you communicate in ways that really work.
If you’re in the UK, then you’ve read or heard my writing, that I can guarantee.
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 – writing about maps and mapmakers in particular.
I'm a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society and a battlefield guide, too. 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.
Writing.
Language explains what we’re thinking, but there are times when words themselves will hold you back. So how about this: you do what you do best, and let me take care of the rest.
Editing.
It might be a once-over, it could be a rewrite. There's usually room for improvement - what you need is a magician who'll make you sound like the even better version of you.
Marketing / Strategic Development.
Do you want to educate or entertain? Or just see some action? Let me articulate your strategy in new ways - helping you to find believable motivators that achieve visible results.
Ideation / Jazz n' Schnazzle.
So you've had an idea, but it needs some kind of treatment. Filling out, feathering in. Creativity, more words, and a critical friend to help things off the ground? Count me in.
People have been kind enough to say...
CLARITY
“Finally, I get what each team was trying to bring to the table."
"They couldn'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
SIMPLICITY
“Thrilled with the result and startled at how effective it’s been. We thought simplicity would dilute 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 different people reacted to the same speech. Thank **** we talked it through. Can only describe it as alchemy, seeing you work with words – bringing it together.”
High Profile | Media
GENTLE FORCE
“Yes. You got it, and quickly. Didn't believe 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!”
