    Hi, I’m Katrina. I’m a copywriter, designer, and creative strategist who helps businesses turn browsers into buyers and ideas into results. Whether you’re launching something new, reworking what’s stale, or finally prioritizing your marketing materials, I’m here to make you look as good as you actually are. What I offer: - SEO-optimized copy for websites, landing pages, and blogs - CRO-focused sales messaging and marketing strategy - Conversion copywriting for emails, funnels, and campaigns - LinkedIn posts and profile copy that builds visibility and trust - Marketing materials like flyers, postcards, pitch decks, school fundraisers, and conference handouts - Real estate collateral and listing materials - Trade show booths, signage, and sell sheets - Rebrands, visual identities, and full design packages - Graphic design that ties everything together with clarity and polish I’ve worked with major brands like Keds, Merrell, Wolverine, Verdagy, and EmpireCLS, as well as real estate pros, nonprofits, and early-stage startups. I understand how to write like a human, design with intention, and sell without sounding like a robot. You can hire me for copy, for design, or both. Either way, you’re getting thoughtful strategy, clean execution, and marketing that actually works. Let’s make something that sells.

Some visitors to your website will find you thanks to the SEO strategies and magical touches I’ve added to the web copy (plus a little razzle-dazzle for those who opt for that copywriting service package). These “organic web traffic-goers” will be searching for a business like yours—lucky them! Lucky you! Hooray! Some may not even realize they were looking for a business like yours but are becoming intrigued by your offerings, increasing the chance of entering your marketing funnel. The last batch may stumble upon your online presence by chance and either stay or click away within seconds. All visitors to your website, even those who may click away, are valuable for building your brand community and bolstering consumer confidence, contributing to increased trust and authority in your industry. The more people on your website, the better the chances that some will reach the point of purchase. My job is to ensure your website—or anything I write for you—reads well and resonates with audiences. I strive to make my writing engaging and educational, so readers learn something new while exploring your content. I write with the quality I want to read when I look something up, and I look stuff up all the time. All day long, I look stuff up—all sorts of stuff. People naturally tend to trust well-written and well-researched information, so that’s what I aim for in my work. TL;DR I’ll be your word guy. What do you want me to write?

    Expertise in editing, proofreading, academic writing, writing, and ghostwriting. With an MA in English, BA in English Literature/Creative Writing, and a background in writing, editing, and journalism (newspaper and magazine), I enjoy collaborating with you to help your work become effective, high quality, efficient output. I have edited dozens of documents and book manuscripts, earning a reputation here on Elance (now Upwork) as a proficient, exceptional editor with a fast, cheap turnaround. My specialties include novels, manuscripts, SEO content, content optimized for website/online, academic pieces, articles, and more! My areas of focus include: -Proofreading: Looking for mistakes at the word and sentence level (optional: with attention to content) -Copy Editing: Looking for mistakes at the sentence and paragraph level, with attention to content -Substantial/Developmental Editing: Looking for plot holes, characterization, the novel/piece as a whole -Manuscript/Content Critiquing: Writing a convenient report that addresses similar concerns as Developmental Editing; offers a quick look at the manuscript as whole rather than focusing on each page as in a true "Edit" -Beta-reading: Covering a variety of author concerns and/or similar elements to a Critique, but not quite as in depth as the aforementioned In addition to extensive knowledge in the editing and publishing world, I've also ghostwritten more than TEN top-ranking Amazon self-published books in genres that have included virtually everything (Amish Romance, Apocalyptic, Christian Romance, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Memoir and Biography... and my own Contemporary Romance!). I've also written countless articles, SEO optimized content, and website content. I believe in an open line of communication and am not afraid to ask questions, ensuring satisfaction with the finished product. Have questions? Wondering which type of edit is right for you? Let me send you some materials that will help you out! Don't be afraid to ask!

    People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it. You can be a phenomenal writer but if you don't understand the above sentence, your writing will have no purpose. That is what I bring to the table: an understanding of how to create a brand through words. I have a Bachelor's degree from Loyola University Chicago where I studied Advertising, Public Relations and Marketing. I have a vast amount of experience writing for all platforms including social media, blogs, web copy, print, OOH, radio, video. Upon graduation I enrolled in Chicago Portfolio School and completed the copywriting track. I worked full time at an ad agency for a year and a half before moving to freelance full time. Things I Love: Travel/Exploration of different cultures Sports Food/Cooking Reading/Writing/Learning Through advertising, I have worked on products in every single category and have learned to adapt my writing style to appropriately fit the assignment. I also bring professionalism, organization, timeliness, and an upbeat attitude! When can I start?
