Writing

Writing is at the heart of everything I do. I’m a disabled author, regularly produce content for my own platforms, and I work as a content writer and communication consultant too. My subject expertise includes disability, chronic illness, energy limiting conditions, non-visible disabilities, inclusive education and employment, and health psychology. However, I’m always up for a new creative challenge…

As a content writer, I’m known for being able to produce impactful, SEO-optimised content that informs and resonates with the target audience. I love the challenge of working to a brief while making sure my unique voice still shines through!

When working as a communication consultant, I create online content for a variety of audiences, produce informational resources from scratch, and conduct and compile research reports and industry guidance documents. I also proofread and fact-check online webpages, documents and content, mostly for charities and community interest companies.

I’m the author of four published books – you can find out more about each of them here. I’m proud of the impact each of them has had, but I’m best known for my 2024 release, How To Do Life With A Chronic Illness. The book made Amazon’s #1 Most Gifted list following publication, and went on to be named in Audible’s 2024 Best Of The Year and in the UK Top Ten for Wellbeing!

Praise for How To Do Life With A Chronic Illness

“Like a cozy chat with a best mate, Pippa Stacey shares her years of wisdom to provide a groundbreaking, highly accessible guide to living well with chronic illness. This book should be prescribed on the NHS.”

"This book is a true gift for anyone living with chronic illness. Pippa has written an invaluable guide to help you rediscover yourself, even when life looks different from how it did before. Stuffed to the brim with genuinely helpful, tangible tips, fresh perspectives on how to adapt everyday tasks, along with journal prompts and exercises to guide you in figuring out what “doing life” means to you-this is a book that I would have cherished reading when I was first diagnosed with a chronic illness many years ago (and saved me years of trying to figure it out on my own)."

"Stacey's voice is clear, calming and funny - this is a book that people navigating chronic illness can gain so much from, that doesn't centre the medical models most resources are built on. Every piece of this book feels extremely well thought-out and accessible, with insightful journal prompts and plenty of moments for self-reflection."

Communication Consultancy
Webinar Creation and Delivery

Online Factsheet and Service-User Resource Creation
Columnist Roles
Social Media Content Creation

Alongside writing and speaking in a personal capacity, I work with a handful of charities and social enterprises. Together, we create bespoke online content that fulfils the aims and objectives of the organisation while supporting and engaging as many people as possible.

My past roles have included social media management, web content management, newsletter writing, communication consultancy, disability training, online community management, and media outreach work. My expertise lies in disability, chronic illness, and accessibility, but I’m always open to discussing new projects and initiatives!

As much as I love working in the charity sector and understand first-hand how challenging it is to survive as a charitable organisation in the current climate, I cannot work for free. However, I strive to be as flexible as possible for smaller organisations!
