Industry Experience and Training
I’ve always had a knack for words. Guess that makes me a bit of a word nerd. So, if you need a freelance copywriter, I can help you.
I spent 14 years as a reference publishing editor—writing instructional materials, copyediting, proofreading, and rewriting, among other things. And I can put my experience to work for you.
As volunteer Editor-in-Chief of the Troy Nature Society for two years—I wrote articles, copyedited, and learned to build websites.
With a BA in English from Wayne State University, extensive AWAI training in direct-response copywriting for the web, and experience in the publishing industry—I’m uniquely qualified to write, optimize, and copyedit your content.
What Do I Know That Can Help You?
- Make a promise to your prospects.
- Provide value.
- Make reading easy. (Everybody likes easy, right?)
And the most important thing …
Be customer focused.
Sounds obvious but a ton of companies miss this. They choose to focus on their desire to make money instead. And they make this oh-so obvious.
Which results in …
Diminished returns.
I won’t let this happen to you …
Instead, I’ll draw people to your brand like a magnet.
How?
By writing in a way that offers value. When you give instead of always asking—people want to buy from you.
What's It Like To Work With Me?
Coming from the publishing world I’m used to everything being deadline driven. Editorial cutoff dates, typesetter dates, printer dates, and so on. I never missed a deadline in 14 years. I guarantee I’ll meet or beat your deadlines.
Quality assurance is a big deal in the editorial world. As a writer, I still think in those terms. The typo’s the foe. You can count on me for good, concise, clean copy. When revisions or adjustments are needed, I’m easy to work with. We’ll get everything just the way you want it.
