Meet Heidi.
Heidi Pyper isn't your typical wordsmith. Oh no, she’s the secret weapon behind the scenes, capturing the untold stories of those who have shaken their industries to the core.
With an uncanny ability to extract the battles, triumphs, and quiet resilience from her clients, Heidi transforms their journeys into compelling memoirs that are impossible to put down. But don’t be fooled, Heidi isn’t just about ghostwriting; she’s a one-woman powerhouse on a mission to give voice to those who have walked the road less travelled.
Mark and Heidi discussed her daily routine, interests, and experiences, including her ongoing work on memoirs and her fondness for cafes. They also planned a hypothetical trip to China when creating Heidi's fantasy cultural year, discussing cultural activities, music preferences, and the lack of irony in Alanis Morissette's "Isn't it Ironic". The This or That Game provided even more of an insight into Heidi.
A Journey Through Words and Worlds
Heidi’s story starts long before she ever picked up a pen as a professional ghostwriter. With a background as diverse as the stories she tells, Heidi has worn many hats, each one adding a new layer to her narrative tapestry.
In 2004, she found herself in Ningbo, China, where she began her career as an English teacher at English First. Within nine months, her natural knack for teaching and leadership saw her rise to the role of Senior English Teacher, where she helped everyone from kids to business professionals navigate the tricky waters of English language learning.
Fast forward to 2009, Heidi returned to the UK and launched "Bonjour Tonton!", a whimsical venture where she taught French to preschoolers, complete with educational videos and Tonton the Tortoise as her sidekick. This wasn’t just a gig; it was an 11-year journey into the world of language learning, blogging, and even picture book publishing.
By 2020, Heidi was already a seasoned pro in the world of content and copywriting. She took on roles as a marketing specialist, where she crafted compelling marketing work for brands like NEXT DESK, helping to launch a foldable home office desk that was born out of the COVID pandemic. Her words didn’t just sell products; they built brands.
But Heidi’s passion for storytelling didn’t stop at product descriptions and marketing slogans. In April 2023, she took a leap of faith and embraced the role she was born for, ghostwriting. Her focus? The untold stories of those who have broken barriers, shattered expectations, and created new paths where none existed before.
The Cultural Me and the Power of Stories
As if ghostwriting wasn’t enough to keep her busy, Heidi is also a Community Manager and Editorial Assistant at The Cultural Me. Since January 2024, she’s been welcoming new writers into a vibrant community dedicated to exploring life through the arts and humanities.
Her role isn’t just about editing; it’s about fostering a space where voices from all walks of life can be heard, their stories shaped and shared with the world.
Her freelance work as an Arts & Culture Writer has also seen her dive into topics close to her heart, literature and spirituality. Her article on the poetry of Dylan Thomas, for instance, is a testament to her love for words and the profound impact they can have on our understanding of humanity and the divine.
The Heartbeat of Heidi's Work
Heidi’s work is more than just a job; it’s a calling. She’s not just interested in the glitzy, polished parts of success, she’s driven to uncover the gritty, raw truths that often lie hidden beneath the surface. Whether you’re an arts professional with a story to tell or a game-changer ready to set the record straight, Heidi is the one who can help you craft your narrative.
Heidi believes that sharing your story is a powerful act of self-liberation. It’s a way to reclaim your truth, inspire others, and - most importantly - honour the journey that brought you to where you are today.
So, are you ready to tell your story? Because Heidi Pyper is ready to write it.
Whether you end up working with her or not, one thing’s for sure—you’ll be glad you made the connection.
