What I Do

I help you share your story to rise above the crowd, build cool stuff and change the world

Great writing—a great story—means nothing if it doesn’t help meet your goals. It needs to produce results. It’s rare to find both in the same place.

 

Think of me as a strategist who can write something longer than 280 characters. Longer than 280 words, even. Or 280 pages. A long-form writer with real marketing expertise. Or an editor who can write and knows how to focus the story on your key messages.

 

In other words: Someone who knows what to say when and why and will worry about whether or not you need an Oxford comma, so you don’t have to.

Some of the things that I do best:

Multiple hands from around a meeting table marking up a strategy

Strategic communications
consulting

Do you need talking points for a press kit? Win themes for a proposal? To share information with stakeholders? Easy ways for local volunteers to do outreach?

​

Together, we’ll figure out your goals, define your strengths, understand your audience, and create the right tools and messages.

​

  • Marketing plans

  • Strategic messaging

  • Internal communications

  • Media pitch development & press kits

  • Proposal messaging, SWOT analysis, differentiators and win themes

  • Community engagement

  • Grassroots outreach

  • General advice and unsolicited opinions

Put your plan into action with intelligent, jargon-free writing that engages, inspires, provokes action and wins business.

 

Complex technical and socio-economic subjects are a specialty. Long-form work. Deft editing for both AP and Chicago style.

Managing editor

Do big things with a managing editor to shepherd an ongoing program or a project manager to wrangle one-off proposals, reports or grants.

 

Proposals, grants, annual reports, newsletters, blogs and other content require talented writing, on-target messaging and someone to make sure that every piece of content meets your goals and quality standards, matches external requirements, and comes in on deadline.
