Headshot of Carolyn - The Local Word

Local Events, Local Businesses, Local Offers, Local Trades, Local Features …
Lovingly prepared for you by a Local

Hello! My name is Carolyn – I’m the owner/editor of two wonderful local magazines, The Wokingham Word and The Berkshire Break. These independent magazines connect local businesses, charities and organisations with 50,000 residents … every month.

Produced “by a resident, for residents” the WW and BB are a very popular part of local life – people frequently tell me how much they look forward to receiving them, and how much they use them. Packed with useful information, local editorials, events, community news, puzzles and more, they’re a fantastic way to communicate with local people.

So please call or email me to see how I can help you – I will always give an honest opinion and friendly advice.

Testimonials

We have been advertising in the Wokingham Word for many years now and have found it very beneficial. Not only do we get plenty of calls in our office but many of the people that visit our Showroom & Trade Counter are holding a copy of the WW. The help and support Carolyn provides us is fantastic, you couldn’t ask for more from an editor. Don’t underestimate the power of local advertising!

We are getting so much work from The Berkshire Break. Were really happy with the service and how everything is going and really appreciate your magazines.

Daryl Cooke, Roofing Matters

We really do appreciate your support and so many people who come through the door say they saw it in Wokingham Word.
