BREAKING NEWS

Need the up-to-the-minute, latest news on your site? Looking for a responsible employee who is constantly on top of everything in the news, especially when it comes to Major or Minor League baseball, other professional sports, politics or even the latest fashion and beauty trends? Are you looking for someone who can write in AP Style with minimal to no error in a quick-paced environment? Then you have found the perfect candidate. I've worked in busy news rooms and for major political campaigns. Keeping up with the news and moving quickly on it is experience that I am absolutely ready to provide for your company.

FEATURE ARTICLES

Feature Articles are my specialty. Do you need a fun way to introduce your company's CEO to the public? Perhaps you would like a profile on, or an interview with, an athlete or entertainer? A piece featuring your brand and services while keeping people engaged? Or perhaps you would like to remember something historical in a way that brings to life past events or people that are now gone? My job in this case is to take the truth, the facts -- and write them in a creative way that people can connect to and be able to become immersed in the story being told. 

Blog posts

Your brand needs to be seen as a subject matter expert in your category. My job is to make perception reality. I’ll do the research to understand your customers and their problems, delivering engaging blog posts that position you as the expert—and your product as their next logical purchase.

LONGFORM JOURNALISM

Looking for content for your website that is informative and will keep your readers interested, engaged and keep them from bouncing straight from your page? I can provide you with creative nonfiction long form content that is produced quickly and will keep your target audience both informed and entertained.

RESEARCH

Need information for a story? A fact checker? Do you need a competent writer who is well-versed in your industry, but can't find one that really knows the ins and outs? That's where I come in! I truly enjoy doing research! Anything that I don't know I will be able to confidently and competently write about in a short period of time.

Web copy

Maybe you need to hit refresh on your whole site. Or maybe there are just a few pages that need a tuneup. Regardless, I’ll work with you to understand your customers, your product, and what makes your brand unique. Then I’ll deliver copy that makes your site professional, compelling, and profitable.

Social media

30% of the time your customers are online, they’re liking, retweeting, snapping, and commenting. But reaching customers on social media is nothing like running ads or sending emails. I’ll develop an engaging social media presence with copy that connects with your customers where they already are.

Direct response

You have potential customers who are ready to whip out their wallets. They’re practically begging to hear a convincing reason to go with your product instead of the other guy’s. That’s where I come in. I’ll write a compelling pitch for your product, convincing your next great customer to take action now.

Copywriting

Whether you need a wordsmith to overhaul your website or just a few headlines for your next ad campaign, I got you covered. I’ll work with you to understand the goals of your project and the minds of your customers. Together, we’ll make your next project a success.

SEO Copywriting

Looking to dominate the SERPS in your category? I’ll deliver SEO optimized copy that will send you to the top of the results. Whether you already have an SEO strategy or are starting from scratch, I’ll partner with you to ensure your next great customer is a Google search away.

Press releases

If you want to get noticed, you need to do something notable. Whether you’re launching a new product, shaking up the C-suite, or making a major brand pivot, I’ll craft a press release that will make the media pay attention.

Email

It didn’t take long for the email inbox to turn into a junk mail wasteland. Your customers hate junk—but your product isn’t junk. I’ll write engaging emails that stand out from the pack of unwanted messages, giving you and your customers what you both really want.

Direct mail

Print is not dead, and not all junk mail is junk. Your ideal customer wants to hear from you. Whether it’s a long-form sales letter or a simple postcard, I’ll deliver a message that doesn’t end up in the trash can as soon as it’s out of the mailbox.

Display ads

When your customers are cruising down the information superhighway at 98 clicks per hour, do your banner ads give them a reason to take notice? Or do they cruise by without a thought? I’ll write display advertising that make them pump the brakes and give your brand the attention it deserves.

Landing pages

You’ve created a great product. You’ve told the world about it. And a qualified lead has just hit your site. What do they see? More importantly, just how hard do they bounce? I’ll write a landing page that makes your future customer stick around and take action.

Search advertising

We no longer have to guess what customers are looking for, they tell us with every online search. Today, we just need crystal-clear copy that answers their questions with your product. I’ll write targeted ads that put your product at the top of their search results.
