Most writing can be learned. Editorial instinct can't.

Good editorial writing is more than a polished sentence. It's knowing when to cut, when to push and when a story needs a stronger angle.

Editorial copy earns its place on the page differently to SEO copy. It takes up space intentionally, resisting the urge to add fluff and filler because restraint is what makes it readable.

Led by Erin Berryman, Edited By is an Australia-based copywriting studio with editorial roots. Before copywriting, Erin spent years working as a digital editor and journalist, with bylines across Australian and New Zealand media. That background still informs every piece of work today.

Who we write for

  • Brand and marketing teams producing editorial-style content

  • Founders and executives building a thought leadership presence

  • Agencies needing editorial support behind the scenes

  • Publishers, trade titles and content studios

  • Businesses launching blogs and/or newsletters

  • PR teams that need copy to complement a campaign

What good editorial copy actually requires

Two things:

It calls for a writer who can read a brief and immediately find the angle that will resonate best with a specific audience.

It requires knowing your audience at a structural level. Editorial copy written for a B2B trade publication reads differently to B2C brand content, which reads differently again to a thought leadership column or brand blog. A good editorial copywriter moves between these registers without losing momentum.

FAQs

What's the difference between editorial copywriting and regular copywriting?

1

Editorial copywriting brings a journalism standard to the page. It's more concerned with angle, structure and narrative than standard copy, and it tends to live in longer formats such as features, thought leadership, brand stories, newsletters and magazine content.

2


Can you write in my voice if it's going out under my name?

Yes. Ghostwriting is a significant part of what we do, particularly for thought leadership and executive content. We spend time understanding how you think and communicate before we write a word.

3


Do you work with trade and B2B publications?

Yes. Erin's background includes writing for professional and trade audiences across beauty, wellness, hospitality and property. We understand the difference between writing for a general audience and writing for readers who know the industry.


Can you help if I have a draft but it's not quite there?

4

Absolutely. Sometimes a piece has the right material but wrong structure, or the right ideas but flat execution.

5


How do you approach thought leadership content?

We start by understanding what you actually think, not what sounds good. The best thought leadership is specific, takes a real position and is backed by genuine experience. We ask the right questions, find the angle that's uniquely yours and build the piece out from there.
