Who on earth is Kate Nilski? And where is her name from?

So many questions.

Let me answer them for you.

A bit about Kate Nilski, copywriter, SEO, and pie lover

The cold, hard facts

I’m a freelance copywriter, originally from a small town in Shropshire but now based in Sussex, UK.

I’ve got a degree in English Language and Linguistics, so if you ever needed proof I can write, well there it is.

I live with my husband, Adam, who likes to feed me delicious, home-cooked food. I also have a lazy cat, Thomas, and an excited dog, Peggy. You’ll see them all over my socials.


About my writing

I’ve been a copywriter since 2015 and love writing a super-individual brand voice for all my clients. I’m also an SEO thanks to learning from THE expert in this field, Nikki Pilkington.

I specialise in food copywriting. This is because, as well as loving eating, I’ve worked with many food brands, creating sensory-led copy that makes mouths water and wallets spontaneously spill open.

But, if you don’t have a food brand and you still like what you see, I’d be well happy to chat.

Some other stuff

As well as my pets, I love, in no particular order:

Music - I’m a land girl mod who’s in a folk covers band called Poni Mitchell

Comedy - including Victoria Wood, anything from the 70s, and BBC’s gorgeous Ghosts

Food - as fancy as you’d like to make it for me, thanks, but there’s always a time for beans on toast too. I’m also a converted non-cook.

Self Care - it takes a long time to believe you deserve self care, but let me tell you: you do.


Ten-second bio

With 5 inconsequential things I feel far too strongly about:

  1. September is the best month

  2. I’m yet to eat the perfect tomato

  3. Sweeties are better than chocolate

  4. The 70s was the best decade for music

  5. I don’t like it when people apologise to me for swearing

P.S. My surname is Polish. It’s my married name and I’ve never been to Poland.
