“Oh, what kinds of things do you write?”

 

That’s what people ask when I say I’m a writer.

So I usually rattle off some combination of:

  • Digital display and social media ads

  • Marketing copy for digital and print assets

  • SEO and SEM copy

  • Magazine feature stories and content

  • Strategic web content

  • Brand language and style guides

  • Video scripts and speeches

  • Poetry

  • Music

  • A book (yep, a real one with pages and chapters and everything)

Recent projects

 

A Fortune 500 company’s B2B and B2C national ad campaigns

A university’s alumni magazine and campaign launch

A banking franchise’s video script

An industrial marketing firm’s web copy and brand voice

An organization’s sponsored feature story, which garnered a multimillion-dollar gift (nbd)

What is it like to work with me?

I subscribe to the school of writers and editors who:

  • Believe in the Oxford comma

  • Keep the exclamation point to the few opportune moments it deserves

  • Are serious about their craft and also know how to crack a joke

  • Know the difference between clickbait and clever turns of phrase

  • Respect the intelligence of the reading audience (and recognize that sometimes they need a little nudge to expand that intelligence)

  • Trust the power of stories and relatable language to convey complex emotions and ideas

What I bring to the table:

  • Persistent curiosity about the project’s goals and audience

  • Unyielding attention to detail

  • A drive to learn more and expand my skills

  • A “let’s get it done” mentality while also planning for a more efficient process next time

  • 10 years of professional writing and editing experience

  • A track record of collaboration with clients in business, finance, manufacturing, hospitality, nonprofit, religious, higher education, and other sectors

About me

I’m a writer and editor who values variety—in leisure, in work, and in life. For example, I’ve:

  • Drafted copy about wide-ranging topics for hundreds of niche audiences, inspiring them to click, buy, subscribe, apply, and donate

  • Curated scores of playlists on Spotify

  • Written everything from web content, magazines, and print marketing campaigns to poetry, music, and a book

  • Worked on a cattle ranch, on a sales floor, on the road, and in nationally syndicated radio

  • Developed custom cocktail menus for social gatherings

  • Read an average of 27 books per year, from diverse authors and numerous genres spanning millennia

  • Completed The New York Times Daily Mini crossword puzzle in 20 seconds or less

A healthy, varied life outside of work makes for a more creative, fulfilling work life as well. Cheers to the symbiosis.
