I am a native bilingual writer, editor, and interviewer in English and Spanish, and my work is making difficult subjects read simply in both languages. The proof is on the page: more than thirty-five published magazine features in eighteen months, each built from a recorded interview and shaped into accurate, finished prose. My range covers feature articles, blog and website content, marketing and brand copy, editing and proofreading, and translation in both directions between English and Spanish. I have written across healthcare, education, business, energy, and technology, carrying the load-bearing detail of surgeons, engineers, and executives into language a general reader can hold without losing what makes it true. That work appeared in RGVision Magazine on a steady cadence of about two features an issue, on deadline, issue after issue. I have profiled hospital systems, school districts, a multibillion dollar energy terminal, and the companies wiring rural broadband, and every piece in my portfolio links to the live published article, so you can read the work before you hire me. What you get is a writer who reports first and writes second, who meets deadlines, and who returns clean copy that needs little editing. Because I work in both languages natively, a bilingual project does not become two separate hires, and a translation sounds native rather than converted. I was raised on the Texas border, where two languages share one table, and I have spent my life moving between them without losing either. If you need it back fast, that is my lane: resumes, cover letters, editing, and translation delivered in one to three days, with the first version in 24 to 48 hours and revisions included. Larger content programs, editorial work, and ongoing translation are welcome as well. Send me your document and what it is for, and I will tell you exactly what I would do and when you would have it.

I am a freelance graphic designer, photographer/photo editor, and writer born and raised in Northern California. Being interested in design and writing, I have honed my skills over the years to produce my best work. With some print design projects I have to write my own copy and in turn, proofread and edit it as well. I unexpectedly combined my two passions of design and writing when I started taking graphic design classes in community college. Throughout these careers I have gained much experience working with clients via the internet and face-to-face meetings. I have managed multiple projects for clients one city away and some as far as half the globe away. All work done by me is original and produced in a timely manner based on agreed upon timelines. I only provide you with the best of the best!

I've worked full-time as a freelance writer and editor since 2012. In that time, I've supported hundreds of clients across many different industries.

You can expect responsible communication, dependable turnaround times, and careful attention to detail. My goal is to deliver polished work that exceeds your expectations and makes your job a little easier.

I help students discover what story they should tell — and then help them tell it with clear, concise and powerful prose. As a narrative consultant and story strategist, I work primarily with students applying to colleges, graduate programs and scholarships. My specialty is helping clients look at their experiences, interests and what may seem like ordinary moments in their lives to identify the narrative and theme that will make an admissions or scholarship essay effective and memorable. As an education reporter for one of the largest regional newspapers in the country, I am challenged daily to interview sources, find the heart of a story and write clear, engaging copy that weaves together a strong theme and holds a reader’s attention. I use those same skills when working with students and professionals. HERE’S WHAT I CAN HELP WITH: - Brainstorming and story discovery: Through conversation and targeted questions, I’ll help you identify the experiences, details and themes that could make the strongest essay. - Finding the deeper meaning: A good essay is rarely just about what happened. I’ll help you identify what an experience reveals about your values, perspective, growth or way of thinking. - Structuring and drafting: I’ll help you organize your ideas into a narrative that moves naturally, builds toward a clear point and keeps the reader interested. - Editing and revision: I offer detailed feedback on structure, clarity, pacing, word choice and grammar. I offer as many rounds of edits as needed and I typically edit in Google Docs, allowing you to see my suggested edits in real-time and decide what to approve or reject. That way, I'm not changing your words and you stay an active part of the process. (This format also allows you to see exactly how long I'm actively working in your document so you know you're never getting overcharged.) - Scholarship essay help: I have a particular passion for scholarship applications. I funded my first year of college with private scholarships that I won by writing essays, and I know several databases and strategies for finding niche scholarships tailored to a student’s experiences and interests. For the last several years, I’ve helped students and young professionals write and polish scholarship essays, college application essays, graduate school essays, personal statements and cover letters. My goal with every project is to capture the client’s own voice while making sure each idea is clearly conveyed. I am not interested in manufacturing a dramatic story or rewriting an essay that sounds like someone else wrote it. I want to help you recognize what is already compelling about your experiences and communicate it effectively. Each draft should sound more and more like YOU and what YOU want to convey. To reiterate, you do not need to arrive with the perfect topic or a polished first draft. Some of the most important work we can do together happens before the writing even begins: identifying which story is worth telling, what it says about you and how to tell it in a way that feels genuine, specific and memorable. FROM A PAST GRADUATE SCHOOL APPLICANT: “Mara helped me bring my grad school application letter to the next level. And YES, I got in my dream school. She was very thorough with my drafts, gave me a lot of constructive feedback, and helped me address my biggest writing concerns. What I appreciated the most about her work is that she always tried to understand what story I wanted to tell and gave me advice on how to tell it well, instead of just correcting the grammar.”
