What to expect when you work with me

CUSTOM COPY

In a world buzzing with distractions, having a unique voice is key. I'll bring your brand to life so you can stand out from all the noise.

HIGH ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Picture this: a potential customer lands on your website. Everything sounds great, the product looks incredible and the user experience is on point. But there’s a glaring typo right in their face. Avoidable, silly mistakes like these represent your brand and its people. I’ll care about your copy the same way you care about your audience. I’ll cross all the t’s and dot the i’s so you don’t have to.

INFINITE CURIOSITY

I am not the authority in your industry—YOU are. A copywriter who says otherwise just wants your money (sorry). But you know what I AM? Pretty dang good at COPYWRITING in your industry. That takes a certain level of curiosity, care and interest in your day-to-day. What makes your brand tick? Who are your biggest competitors? What words do you love using on the repeat, and which ones do you avoid at all costs? No one knows your brand better than you, but I’ll work hard to learn all this and more.

OPTIONS, OPTIONS, OPTIONS

Of course, there are a million and one ways to say something. We won’t go overboard, but I will go above and beyond to make sure you have a few *quality* options to choose from in the copy (depending on the piece you’ve requested).

DEADLINE OBSESSED

100% of projects delivered on time. Never missed a deadline—seriously. Just look at my client testimonials for proof.

The Project Process

01.

We’ll start with a kickoff call or you can just send over a brief/your preferred method of direction—up to you!
02.

I’ll get to work on your messaging in my little copy den or whichever coffee shop sounds best that day (gotta keep WFH life interesting).
03.

You’ll receive the copy (options of it) by our agreed-upon deadline.
04.

Either approve the copy as is, but know that I offer 1-2 rounds of revisions depending on the piece to make sure you’re thrilled with the results.
05.

Love the copy. Publish the copy. Request more copy. In whichever order you choose.

It all begins with an idea.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
