Business Writing: How I Can Help You

As a copywriter, I help organizations engage more deeply with crucial audiences. Business partners, customers, clients, donors, employees, volunteers, the media, the community … I get it. There’s no end of people you need to reach, and any team can struggle sometimes to get it all done. I provide the extra help you need to keep projects moving forward. Hiring me can strengthen your communications team while freeing key personnel to focus on broader objectives.

As an editor, I help authors, academics, and researchers polish their work for submission or publication. I bring an objective eye and a sharp red pen (or its digital equivalent) to every project. I won’t coddle you, but I won’t take over the work, either. It’s your writing. I’m just here to help you make it the best it can be.

I can also support you and your team by providing related services — including research, communications planning, and branding/strategic consultation — on a stand-alone basis or in connection with a writing/editing project.
