Under the Hills offer unique and absorbing writing solutions to set your press releases, bios, website content and blogs apart from your peers and competitors.

Steve has said, “with Under the Hills we have revolutionised freelance writing services for small businesses, start-ups on a budget, and new ground-breaking ventures by boxing off a portion of our diary time each week for individual bespoke jobs that most freelancers only offer at premium hourly or day rates. Call it mates rates if you like, we call it small prices for small jobs as a way to build an ongoing rapport with grassroots creatives. We also work in partnership with artists, musicians and photographers to produce creatively realised writing to accompany their work.”

Under the Hills is about ideas first and foremost. No generic copy, no templates and no bullshit. No obligation quotes and free advice are available.
