    Hi there! Is your plate full? As a Marketing/Brand Manager you’re the hub of the business. You have your hands in almost every department– some may call you a cross-functional expert! Quite simply, there’s just not enough of “you” to go around. You’re not alone. Most brands are in the same boat. Enter, me. I’m Alyssa, an SEO-optimized copywriter and inbound marketing strategist, former multi-hat wearer, living out my dream to give you freedom in your job and the space to create & strategize (because that’s really all we want, right? 😉) Why work with me? Wouldn’t you love to do more of the things you love and less of the things you don’t? Most markets have become commoditized, making it that much more important to find creative and unique ways to differentiate yourself from competitors. What a brand offers to share, how they share it, and how they communicate relationally with their customers are nowadays, the differentiating factor. With a background as a Brand Manager, I make sure your brand language is consistent across the entire customer journey, building your brand equity and customer loyalty! What you get: - Copywriting that educates your consumer in digestible pieces, so they can be informed when making buying decisions. - Engaging, SEO-optimized content that encourages action. Reach your KPIs with ease. I'd absolutely love the pleasure of joining you in accomplishing your copywriting and marketing goals. Cheers!

    I work with Indie authors as well as authors on the traditional publishing route to take all manuscripts from a draft to a book that people everywhere want to binge. If a reader can't put the book down until the last page, then they still crave more, I've done my job well! If you're looking for a professional, bookish bestie, then I'm your editor. SERVICES I OFFER Manuscript Evaluation Developmental Editing Line Editing Proofreading Ghostwriting and Interactive Game Plotlines and Dialogue ABOUT ME When I'm not reading for entertainment (an average of about book every two days), or reading for editorial purposes, I am usually organizing or cleaning something else! I will even organize other's closets for fun. In other words, I'm a total weirdo, I get it. Don't worry, I also love attending performances, finding great coffee shops, and finding unique, hole-in-the-wall, authentic foods from around the world. Thank goodness my home base is in one of the most diverse cities in the United States - Houston, Texas. We do not, contrary to popular misconception, wear cowboy hats or say "howdy" any more often than elsewhere else in the states. However, I do live on a ranch and help to care for 6 horses, 8 cats, and 2 snakes. I'm originally from Boulder, Colorado and while I do miss the mountains and wineries, the cultural opportunities down here are stellar. EDITING STYLE My zone of genius lies in organizing plot, developing story elements, character development, creating flow, and enhancing an author's personal style. I focus on the intention and voice of a piece as well as clarity, grammar, style and voice, consistency, and cohesiveness. My authors receive feedback from the "reader's perspective" in addition to my suggested edits to help keep them on target for their audience. EXPERIENCE + QUALIFICATIONS I have been writing and editing creatively and academically for nine years informally and have consistently produced effective and well-polished pieces. However, two years ago I decided to become professional. I began my foray into freelancing and now I get to work from home editing manuscripts every day. I have thoroughly fallen in love with the journey and have genuinely enjoyed every book and author I have had the pleasure to work with thus far. My educational background is in the fields of political science, international affairs, and second languages, so technical communication is second nature even as much as the creative is my passion! I am constantly increasing my formal qualifications by attending every online webinar and course possible - I'm an education junkie! Some of these courses and certifications include: - EFA copyediting series - EFA developmental editing series - EFA editing for YA series - EFA webinars for editing romance for YA, NA, and Adult audiences - EFA CMOS webinars - EFA webinars for sensitivity reading for DEI - diversity, equity, and inclusion - EFA webinars on various subjects which continue to diversify and increase in number GENRES I EDIT Audience Categories - YA (Young Adult) - NA (New Adult) - Adult Fiction - Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) : Steampunk, Artificial Intelligence or Robot, Apocalyptic, Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic, Alternate Universe, Multi-Dimensional, Time Travel, Futuristic or Contemporary, Space Opera, Technological, etc. - Fantasy : High or Low Fantasy, Urban/Grunge, Apocalyptic, Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic, Utopian, Mythological/Mythic, Alternate History, Historical, Contemporary, Alternate World, Crossworld, Twisted Fairytale/Retelling, Fable, Magical Realism, Superhero, Supernatural, Paranormal, Romance, Romantasy, Epic, Dark, etc. - Thriller/Horror : Monster, Alien, Escape, Adventure, Mystery, Supernatural, Paranormal, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, etc. - Mystery : Cozy, Crime, Closed Room, Epic or Adventure, Puzzles, Hardboiled, Heist, Accidental/Amateur Detective, etc. - Historical : Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Period, Alternate History, Multidimensional, Time-Travel, etc. - Romance : From Clean to Extra Spicy/Steamy Nonfiction - Blogs - Essays, Academic or for Publication - Articles for Journals, Magazines, or Publication - Theses for Masters and PHD in Business, Politics, World/International Affairs, Agriculture, etc. - Dissertations for Masters and PHD in Business, Politics, World/International Affairs, Agriculture, etc. - Self-Help/Personal Development Types of Manuscripts - Novel - Novella - Epic - Series - Short-story - Graphic Novel - Thesis - Dissertation - Articles - Essays

    An esteemed author once wrote, "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." That is a guiding principle for me. Whether I am writing or editing, I seek to paint words with vivid brushstrokes, tapping into ideas through images; feelings through sensations; facts through well-mined research. My goal is to live the life of my dreams, while inspiring others to live theirs. My writing is enticing, yet personable. I want people to feel as though I am speaking directly to them; or better yet, that my arms are ripping through the computer screen, grabbing their shoulders, and shaking them awake. Knowledgeable in: SEO Content writing, Article & Blog Writing Resume writing, English Proofreading, Creative writing, Copy-writing, Academic writing, Technical writing, Journalism writing, and Editorial writing.

    I am here to help solidify and communicate your public image to better connect with the world and create positive communication surrounding your image, your art and your business. I write to create what you wish to exist and to communicate your heart to the masses. I do this through the means of social media, mass email marketing campaigns, bios, press kits, interview questions and responses, speeches, website copies, articles and more. Publicity isn't a "stunt" it is sustainable and consistent communication, honesty and strategic art. I would love to help communicate who you are and what you do with the world to create beautiful press surrounding everything you create. My background and college degrees are in psychology/human services/counseling/sociology, so I have a natural ability to understand the human mind, communication and society. I am also a published writer (Beautiful Corpse) on Amazon and have written and communicated on a doctoral level. "PR is not advertising. PR is all about storytelling. PR is an image-shaper." - Forbes

    Writing: I am an experienced creative writer with over 20 years experience in writing novellas and novel length fiction. I have professionally published under multiple pen names in romance and mystery genres. I am able to write in most genres, but specialize in romance, historical fiction and mystery/suspense with an emphasis on character development. I will write pieces of any length from short stories to novel-length works. First person, third person, multiple point of view, present or past tenses are all options; the tone will be adjusted to your voice and the narrative energy that you wish to convey. I believe in promoting diversity in fiction and will happily write true-to-life diverse characters from different ethnic, socio-economic, religious or sexual backgrounds. I am comfortable writing all levels of romantic and emotional intimacy. In addition to writing fiction, I can assist in plot development, narrative direction, incorporating over-arching themes, editing for tone and length for your work-in-progress. Finally, I am happy to help get you started with original ideas, outlines and scene beats to help you move ahead on your own work of fiction. Editing/Proofreading: I am a talented proofreader/copy editor with over 15 years experience reviewing both print and digital media for spelling and grammatical errors, as well as reviewing for tone, conciseness, clarity and flow. I can proofread email and correspondance, fiction, articles, web content, and academic work. I have familiarity with all major styles (AP, Chicago, etc.). I am also able to provide transcription services and to edit transcribed work for clarity and appropriate grammar. Job Seeker Services: As a former DBA, I served as the department's HR manager and in the course of 17 years, reviewed hundreds of applications for employment across all levels and many fields. As a freelancer, I have reviewed dozens of resume and cover letters, and worked with job seekers to tailor resumes to survive ATS review as well as human recruiter review and helped job seekers get the interview they are seeking. I can review OR rewrite your resume to give you the most impactful, successful resume you can have, as well as teach you how to revise your resume for future job searches yourself. Additionally, I am also available for interview preparation and coaching, should you desire further assistance. Rates are variable, depending on the length and scope of the proposed project, and I am willing to negotiate rates where possible. Please contact me if I can be of service to you!

    I am frequently reminded of the fact that my command of the written English language is one of my strongest skill-sets. From an early age, an effective way to construct sentences, paragraphs, and written works using proper grammar, punctuation, and syntax was drilled into my awareness through a strict education. This continued to be the case in college and in law school. I am an efficient and accountable editor, with experience in everything from creative writing to critical essays and legal articles/documents. I can make sure that your ideas are being communicated clearly and distinctly, while ensuring that your personal voice is preserved, with particular attention to grammar, punctuation, and construction.

    Nail Your Copy! I craft resonant, research-driven, conversion-optimized copy to captivate your target audience, elevate your brand, and drive business growth. There's a litmus test for effective copy: Your target audience feels you have somehow burrowed into their brains... are speaking directly and persuasively to their situation, pain points, and needs... AND they take action as a result. How do I achieve that outcome? First: I learn your business and offering inside out. Gain a thorough understanding of your buyer personas, value prop, benefits, features, and potential friction points to overcome. Next: I go into deep research mode, immersing myself in your market à la Daniel-Day Lewis tackling a new dramatic role, to surface the key insights and voice of customer data that are the lifeblood of good copy. Then: once I've got the golden nuggets, I lay the groundwork in the planning phase, employing proven conversion copywriting principles. Finally: I produce your fresh, sparkling, conversion-optimized copy and deliver it to you in an editable Google Doc, coupled with a wireframe version so you can see how it looks visually laid out on a page. You will either be fully satisfied with the results at first OR I will make whatever revisions are necessary until you are. Speaking of client satisfaction, here's what others have said about our collaborations: "Adam was truly wonderful to work with. I needed help creating engaging, cohesive and understandable messaging for a new business concept and Adam was incredibly patient and helpful. He listened, asked great questions, and came up with some amazing ideas. His writing was fabulous and I cannot recommend him enough." "Adam is an incredibly talented copywriter. He listened exactly to what I wanted, made suggestions to meet my goals and continued to work with me in order to deliver outstanding results. I will not hesitate to work with him in the future." "Adam nailed this copy on the first go! I was very very impressed with his creativity, skill, and professionalism. I was thrilled with the result and wouldn't hesitate to hire Adam again." "Adam communicated well, set expectations, and followed through with quality work. He chose the right voice for our landing page and wrote persuasive copy with minimal direction. I'm using him again for additional services." A thumbnail on my background: Before my move into copywriting, I spent 5+ years in B2B tech (SaaS) sales where I cut my teeth crafting messaging to a broad range of buyer personas and stakeholders that ultimately led to hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue generated within a variety of verticals. When it became clear that writing was my strong suit, I transitioned to full-time copywriting. If you: ✅ Need copy for new Website or Landing page to drive sales ✅ Need to upgrade your existing copy and up your conversions ✅ Need complex messaging distilled into digestible content ✅ Want messaging that's engaging, persuasive, punchy, and on-point ✅ Want copy that captures and conveys your unique voice and tone ✅ Want data-driven copy that connects with your target audience ✅ Could use a hand with your overall content strategy There's a good chance you just found the right person for your project.

    I am a writer with the ability to write in multi-voices and tones in any genre. Words are my strength and my passion. I have additionally worked as a professional proofreader; co-written, co-directed, and produced an independent award winning horror film; wrote four produced plays; and, wrote a nonfiction novel for my thesis project in graduate school. As a former high school English teacher, I was recognized for detailed and comprehensive curriculum writing, be it for a one-day lesson, a full semester,or school year, or cross-curricular. I understand that precision, communication, and timeliness are of the utmost importance. I will strive to create and/or polish exactly what you wish for your project to be, and will deliver in the time frame that is right for you. I work with integrity and without judgment. In other words, there is nothing off-putting that you can request for your product, such as explicit or adult-oriented material. I understand as well, the importance of voice and tone when it comes to creating a persona for your brand or the style of your book or document. Distinctiveness and originality are valuable. When it comes to fiction and screen play/play writing strengths, my forte is dialog. I am familiar and understand social media in both content and advertising, especially Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. I stay up to date with pop culture and trends. Additionally, I am a professional astrologer who has studied with Chani Nicholas, Adam Sommer, Donna Woodwell, and Benebell Wen. I have a vast knowledge of metaphysical topics, including Reiki, tarot, I Ching, and crystal healing. While I do in person and online astrological reads, I specialize in original comprehensive Natal Chart manuscripts of 50-100 pages in length. My personal interests other than writing and astrology, include film, big cats, punk, alternative, and rock music, and reading in all genres. I have a particular love of David Sedaris, Anne Lamott, Anne Tyler, Ernst Hemingway, and John Irving, as well as.True Crime and mysteries. For stage and screen, I am drawn to Aaron Sorkin, Tennessee Williams, and Quentin Tarantino. For fun I embroider, create handmade junk journals, collage, and study astrology. I have a plethora of pets, 2 adult daughters, twin grandchildren on the way, and once created and drove an art car. *Reporter and editor for the Hedwig Daily News (Houston, Texas; now defunct) *Wrote, edited, and developed a course catalog for Arts a la Carte (fine arts studio) *Wrote, edited, and developed a training manual for box office procedures & ticket automation (Rockefeller’s: The Night Club, Houston, Texas) *Freelance proofreader for Kwik Kopy Corporation in-house documents and training materials *Book editor and proofreader for several historical and religious texts *Presentation of biographical & analytical papers for the International/Pop Culture Conference, “Billie Joe Armstrong: Patriot” and “The Bitchification of Skylar White.” *Co-wrote, co-directed, and produced the award winning independent film “Party Night” in 2016 *Playwright for 1 adult and 3 young adult plays produced in Houston Texas at TheaterLaB Houston, Houston Community College, and the Houston Public Library System. *Writer of the nonfiction novel “All Tomorrow’s Parties” published by University of North Carolina at Wilmington *Curriculum writer for High School English, Reading, and ASL classes in Texas and North Carolina *Created curriculum for fine arts classes at Arts a la Carte and Main Street Theater Summer program *Studied in the University of Houston Creative Writing Department; Graduated from New York Institute of Technology with a BS in English, Behavioral Science, and Humanities with a 4.0 GPA and a master degree in Liberal Studies with a focus in writing at University of North Carolina at Wilmington with a GLS and 4.0 GPA. *Sound and Light Engineer, co-producer, Stage Manager, as well as Jill of all Trades in costume, set design, and guest hospitality for Theater LaB Houston *High School teacher of all levels of English, Reading, and ESL in Texas and North Carolina *Breastfeeding consultant with La Leche League and Harris County Department of Health WIC Program *General Manager and Projectionist for AMC Theatres, Inc. *Proofreader at Gulf Publishing Company in Houston, Texas
