About us
Little Black Dot is a bespoke copywriting and copy editing and proofreading service. We cater to a wide range of clients from international companies and charities to small businesses and individuals.
Chief Dotter is me, Anna Griffiths.
I have taken great pleasure in reading and writing both fact & fiction from an early age. It began with a stream of ‘journalistic’ articles about anything and everything that catches the eye of the average 8 year old, proceeded with many years of short stories and essays, and moved on to a degree in language and literature. I still fill endless notebooks with stories, recipes, gardening thoughts and ideas for future projects. Over the years I’ve written a number of food and cooking articles and film reviews for national publications.
An interest in studying people and listening to their stories led to a career in qualitative research, working in a range of sectors from automotive to healthcare to IT & technology with some of the world’s top research and advertising agencies. Eventually settling on a social research path, I specialised in working with international charities, local governments and not-for-profit agencies both at home and abroad. In all of these roles, I developed a reputation for strong report-writing skills, as well as a knack for hitting just the right ‘tone-of-voice’ for each client.
Over the years I’ve used copywriting, editing and proofreading skills not only at work, but to help friends and family develop their own businesses as well. With the launch of Little Black Dot, my passion became my profession.
The arrival of Isaac in June 2016 heralded a break from full time work to focus on the extraordinary, wonderful, maddening and bonkers life of a stay-at-home parent. The arrival of the pandemic in 2020 extended that break for rather longer than expected. These days I am lucky enough to have found a balance of working and family life that gives me the very best of both worlds.
