DARCY SANDVIK
Creative Writer & Brand Artist
About Me
My name is Darcy and I’ve been writing since I learned how to put words on a page. My first completed short story won accolades when I was only 13 years old and since then, I have been refining and honing my writing skills. Today, I am a novelist, memoirist, word artist, content writer, brand identity strategist, and creative writing instructor.
Educational Background:
-
I graduated from Bath Spa University with a Master of Arts in Creative Writing upon completing a 65,000-word manuscript of my novel "Land of Milk and Honey" which was subsequently published in the post-graduate anthology Bath Ink and gained interest by some of London's leading literary agencies.
-
I graduated from Regent's University London with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts English and earned first-class honours for my academic achievements. My senior thesis gained special interest among faculty as it explored female narratives in high-demand religions.
-
I was offered an internship at Bondir as a member of the writing team, undertaking content design assignments and working closely with the graphic design department to deliver branding solutions to small businesses.
My writing portfolio and professional background are diverse but they all have a running thread, they all have required innovation and creativity. Whether I am working out the intricacies of a plot, motivating a classroom of university students to find inspiration in a subject they find challenging, helping a client establish their brand voice and grow their business through content strategy, or offering leadership solutions, each role I undertake requires thoughtful consideration, creative brainstorming, and measurable results.

“Darcy is a dream to work with! She absolutely has knocked EVERY SINGLE PROJECT she comes in contact with out of the park! We have enjoyed working with her so much that she is now staple part of our business and services we offer.”

Darcy is easily one of the best options for a health and wellness writer. If you need consistent and good articles, Darcy can do that. She expresses herself clearly and is always searching for information to make every word meaningful and impactful. She is also very receptive to feedback and open to helping by taking different points of view on a topic. I highly recommend Darcy since you can rest assured that it's the best choice.

“Honestly, I can't complain about Darcy's work, she delivers good and rich articles. She takes the right amount of time to edit and deliver the articles. She's also very open to suggestions and communicative about what she can and can't do, granting you a clear and trustworthy connection. Overall I greatly recommend Darcy.”

“Darcy made us a Squarespace website and provided all of the content - I only supplied her with our portfolio of photos and our logo design. She also created a blog and wrote 3 Search Engine Optimized blog posts. Darcy helped us establish a brand voice and appear on local Google search results. She finished the project quickly and communicated well with our team. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
