I’m a freelance writer and content strategist whose passion is finding the right voice to perfectly describe your business or product. Since 1998, I’ve written for more than 85 clients, ranging from Fortune 200 corporations and universities to small businesses, startups and artists. Together, we can find the perfect way to promote your business and gain new clients.

You’ve put a lot of time into building your business but you can’t sell it if you can’t explain it well. Don’t drop the ball at the last minute. I can craft an image that honestly describes what’s great about your business without resorting to cliches. I’ll do the research to truly learn your operation and goals so I can understand how you want to be seen by your customers and then write about your industry with expertise. I’ll ensure your site is search engine optimized and contains clear calls-to-action.

I’m experienced, reliable and easy to work with, and I can write in a wide variety of voices and styles. No job is too big or small, and I can meet any budget or deadline.
