You already have the stories that will resonate with your audience — but, like diamonds hidden in the earth, they haven’t been brought to light and polished yet.
When you work with me, you’ve got a journalist on your side. I use my journalistic training to mine your stories, bring them to the surface, and polish them into editorial products that shine brilliantly.
As your editor, story coach, and messaging expert, I challenge you to defend and refine your ideas. I bring the perspective of readers and target markets to ensure you’re not just preaching to the choir, but sharing stories that can reach a wide audience and convey power and authenticity.
I help you develop compelling messages that resonate with your target markets, build content and communications strategies, create thought leadership content in a variety of media, craft winning pitches, and publish those stories in earned, owned, and social channels.
When it’s time to produce, edit, and publish copy, I help you do that, too. As a former newsroom editor, I’ve got the skills and the network needed to produce copy at scale. My team and I can create and ship large quantities of high-quality copy, under deadline pressure, day after day.
In concrete terms, I talk with your team, partners, customers, and investors. I listen. I do research. I bring in freelancers as needed. I keep projects running smoothly. I write. And I edit with grace and precision.
A project may include…
- Research, interviews, and planning: I start with a deep dive into your industry and audience to craft authentic narratives based on what people are responding to. Together, we’ll use that narrative to build a communications strategy that supports your business goals.
- Writing and editing: I create, refine, and optimize content for you, maintaining high quality under tight deadlines.
- Publishing and measurement: Working with outside publishers, journalists, or your own publishing platforms, I prepare copy and see it through to publication. I help you assess the results quantitatively and qualitatively.
- Project management: I deliver projects on time and within budget, ensuring you get seamless delivery of excellent work.
