As a first-generation Haitian-American with a rich storytelling heritage, I blend cultural insights with city-smart finesse to craft compelling brand narratives. My expertise extends beyond copywriting—I help businesses develop innovative marketing plans that build brand awareness, forge authentic connections with customers, and drive business growth. As both copywriter and strategist, I collaborate with brands to create messaging that goes beyond selling—inviting customers into a community that shares their values and values them back.

There is no story that is not worth telling. There are, however, bad ways to tell that story. That’s where I come in. My entire life has been about storytelling. Yours probably has been, too! To tell a story is to write book, write a professional email, submit a report—even gossiping with a friend is part storytelling. Between two degrees in Communications and being a middle child, I excel at communications. I’d love to chat more about how I can help you share your story and give you the tools to tell your next one. I have either published or ghostwritten over 50 novels and novellas. I am an expert at developmental romance editing as well as copy editing, line editing, and proofreading. My ghostwriting rates begin at .05/word. I offer individual and bundle pricing on editorial work. Due to high demand, I will not reply to invitations to interview that are beneath my starting rates. Thank you for understanding. Reach out to discuss your project or check out my website, emcanady.com, for more information on my services.

I mix a bit of everything there with articles on parenting, books that have shaped my worldview, and products that make doing all that easier.

Since then, and before, I have done many different types of writing, including newspapers and scientific topics.

I am in my senior year at Miami University, studying Media and Culture & Creative Writing as double majors. I have had experience in freelance writing online, blog writing online, and some ghost writing. Two years ago, I spent my summer interning as a Marketing Specialist, so I do have some knowledge of the marketing aspect of media as well. Last summer, I interned for an organization called One Solution Global, where I took charge of their blog writing, social media, and short film development. I hosted an event for the organization as well. I participate in poetry contests at my college, and I also partake in the print magazine that is distributed on campus. I can write various topic stories as well as proofread/edit others' stories. I have a large passion for writing, media, and art. As a 22-year-old, I also have a wide knowledge upon social media--which is why I also have motive to pursue Social Media Management or Design. I am determined to complete work as efficiently (and timely) as possible. I am always open to write samples in any topic of your choosing.
