WHY ME?
You don’t want your readers to nod off and drool all over their desk or their shiny new smartphone when they’re reading your content, do you? Heck no! You want them to consume your articles and keep coming back for more.
That’s where I come in. I don’t like writing. I don’t even love it. I’m cuckoo for cocoa crazy for it (what can I say, I loved Cocoa Puffs as a kid)! With today’s insatiable demand for information on the web, you can’t afford to lose out on potential customers due to ho-hum content. I'll not only write you some killer content, I'll make sure it's well-researched and that your content stands out from that of your competitors. For me, the challenge is part of the draw!
I’m not just blowing smoke, I have more than 14 years of editorial experience spanning writing, editing, design, and content management. I’ve managed more than 20 freelance contributors, trained six copy editors, coordinated and contributed to 75 print issues, two nationally published books, more than 120 email campaigns, and 12 road maps/travel guides. I've also designed three nationally published collector's edition magazines, as well as numerous media kits, marketing and sales collateral, advertisement creatives, and more.
My aim is to exceed expectations. Why? It's simple. Your content or design reflects on me too—if you look good, I look good and we both win!
