I'm Emily, your Canva obsessed bestie, helping you ditch the stress of socials. I'm bored of AI slop and I'm guessing your ideal client is too. But I also know small business owners don't always have the time to write strategic copy, create a social media strategy, and design the content, and actually run your business! I'm here for your content takeover. I want your Instagram feed to become your ideal client's next bingeable series. I have a degree in Interpersonal Communication and an MA in Catechetics and Evangelization making me especially passionate about helping Christian and Catholic brands communicate what they do in a way that's strategic, compelling, and rooted in their values. I'm kind of a jack of all trades so whether you need copywriting, blogging, editing, social media management or a simple brand refresh, I'm your girl. What I bring to the table: - Copy that makes people want to keep reading - Canva designs that stop the scroll - A content strategy geared towards your business's main goals - And a whole lot less for you to worry about. The true heart of my business has always been to glorify God so you won't get a traditional social media management experience. I'll pray for your business, care about the mission behind it, and make sure we're creating content that doesn't just chase the algorithm, but actually communicates what you're here to say with a whole lot of personality. I only take on a few social media management clients at a time, so make sure to send me a message ASAP to ensure I'm not booked up!

I am a hard-working and conscientious individual with 12 years of virtual assistant experience in Christian ministry, which has included – but is not limited to – research, transcription assistance, data entry, note-taking, writing site material, and composing press releases, letters and email correspondence. Overlapping my virtual assistant experience, I have more than a decade of writing experience and was active for eight of those years as a Christian journalist. I also proofread two books for a military chaplain. I worked as a Christian radio announcer for 13 years and voiced and produced many advertisements during that time. For five of those years, I also worked in Christian event promotions and additionally have brief experience in booking concerts. I am proficient in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPress, Audacity, and the email programs MailChimp and Constant Contact. I am also a believer in neat penmanship. :)

Whether you need a manuscript ghostwritten, a workbook restructured, a curriculum adapted for a new audience, or a book edited line by line, I bring the craft, theological depth, and editorial discipline your project needs. 🎓 Credentials Doctor of Ministry (DMin), Concordia Seminary Master of Divinity (MDiv), Theology BA, Psychology and English 20+ years as a senior pastor, author, and editor Reading knowledge of Biblical Greek and Hebrew 📚 Published Works Author of Dangerous Grace: When God Shows Up in All the Wrong People, Wholehearted Welcome in a Brokenhearted World, Invited: 365 A Year of Devotions on Welcome, Gratitude and Grace, and The Books of Enoch.

Meet Elle—scholar, queer creative, and devoted explorer of the sacred in everyday life! With summa cum laude dual bachelor's degrees in Theological and Religious Studies and International Studies (Asia Region) from Fordham University, Elle (she/they) brings academic rigor and curiosity to her editorial work. A Dean's List student throughout her college career, she has proved her ability to explore complex spiritual themes with nuance and care. Elle's fascination with religion and spirituality isn't just academic—it's personal. From studying the world's major religions to visiting countless spiritual centers, she's spent years immersing herself in how people find meaning, connection, and transformation. She recently welcomed 2026 at Meiji-jingu in Tokyo, experiencing the Saitan-sai New Year's blessing—just one example of her ongoing quest to understand how the sacred shows up across cultures. As a trans woman, Elle brings lived experience and deep commitment to LGBTQ+ stories—particularly those exploring the intersection of spirituality, identity, and transformation. She understands firsthand the courage it takes to tell your truth, and she's passionate about amplifying queer voices in the spiritual and metaphysical publishing space. Based in New York City, she has worked in the publishing industry for years and is now turning her expertise to editing, helping authors express their unique voice and vision with authenticity and power. She believes every spiritual story deserves to be told on its own terms, and she's here to ensure your words resonate exactly the way you intend. When she's not working with manuscripts, you'll find Elle playing guitar in a social justice-focused band, diving into films and books, or writing essays about religious themes in pop culture, seeking out sacred spaces and spiritual experiences wherever she can find them.
