You could use an event function:

%%%%%
\version "2.19.27"

verticalText =
#(define-event-function (text) (markup?)
   #{
     -\tweak TextScript.self-alignment-X #LEFT
     -\markup \rotate #90 #text
   #})

{
  c'2^\verticalText \markup \italic "This is a long markup" c
  c'2\verticalText "This is a long text" c
}
%%%%%
