Summary
A client once said my writing was "like a breath of fresh air." I can think of no better compliment. The market is fat with thousands of copywriters who want your business. The truth is, it's very tough to find the right combination of talent and work ethic. Whether you need 20 pages of web content, a comprehensive white paper, or just a gripping turn of phrase, you need it done well -- ready to publish, ready to send to clients, ready to start working for you NOW. And you'd prefer a writer who is professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Sound about right? If so, let's talk.

About Me
Profile Type: Individual
Year Founded: 2003
Number of Employees: 1
I'm not a newbie. I'm a "been there, done that" copywriter and web specialist with 8+ years experience providing written content for online and print mediums. Before launching my freelance business, I spent 5 years as an E-Commerce Content Manager for two major luxury retail websites, where I provided and edited web copy for product descriptions, category pages, editorial articles, and more. Prior to that, I worked as a Technical Writer for a software company, where I created end-user documentation, newsletters, and marketing materials. Now, I'm leveraging my unique mix of skills to provide companies like yours with the kind of content that makes customers sit up and take notice.
Will you find writers who are cheaper or faster than me? Of course. But I'll do everything I can -- thorough research and discovery, careful crafting of words, and unlimited revisions -- to be the best.
