    Welcome. I'm a creative writer, copy editor, and journalist. Whether writing or editing my own words, or someone else's, I thrive on diving into the details and creating stories. My writing covers a broad swathe of topics from hyper local issues in DC – culture, politics, transit, urbanism, equity – to parenting and humor (Points in Case and The Weekly Humorist are rumored to carry a few of my by-lines). I spent two years working working as a copy editor for a hyper-local newspaper in D.C. Part of my mission was catching errors and tightening sentence structure. The other, and more important, part of my mission was sourcing content from the community that told its story. I also did my own investigative reporting – focused on community-driven stories. As well as writing and producing news, I've ghostwritten articles for top-tier publications, done extensive fact checks for trending news, proofread and edited graduate level essays, and provided beta reads, proofreads, and edits for authors. A highlight from 2022 was working Walking Cinema on the "Before the Bulldozers" walking tour as an on-site reporter and researcher in DC. If you have a story to tell, or just need someone to make your writing shine, we should work together.

    I have 10+ years of experience in copywriting, messaging, and marketing strategy. I know that words are powerful, and I know how to write words that inspire action and shape behavior. I’ve written advertising campaigns (print and digital), websites, sales and landing pages, video scripts, social media content, emails, headlines/taglines, Google ads, and more for clients in private (B2B and B2C), non-profit, and federal clients. I naturally switch between voices and tones depending on the project, medium, and target audience. "Working with Nicole has been game-changing for my business! Prior to Nicole, my emails went unopened and it felt like my list was dead. Nicole has helped me reconnect with my audience by digging deep and understanding my customer's needs. She helps me write copy that really connects with my audience and creates sales every single time. She is a true pleasure to work with as she is fast and responsive to every request and always delivers on time." "Nicole was amazing. She completely understood my vision for a sales page, asked for the tools necessary to do the research, completed the job, and exceeded my expectations." "Nicole went above and beyond expectations. She has great communication skills and her writing is top-notch. I will definitely be working with her again. Highly recommended!" I am a marketer and copywriter for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and non-profits. I work with my clients to identify their brand identity and core message, and then, using their voice, I create engaging content that attracts the right people and sells their services. I believe strongly that writing should be relatable, engaging, and interesting. It should never sound pushy, salesy, or (worst of all) sleazy. Your audience wants connection. If they connect with you, they will buy from you. If they feel sold to, they'll run away. I specialize in writing: * Email Content * Website Content * Landing Pages I can also: * Write your press releases * Offer website consultation (how to improve your site messaging) * Optimize your LinkedIn profile Here's what I bring to the table: *I can make your customers like you and your product, so they will want to buy what you have to sell. You can describe your standard hotel room with a queen-size bed. I can make your customer want to climb under the 600 thread count sheets and eat macadamia nuts in bed, while lazily dozing off to the sounds of the Giants playing the 49ers on the big screen TV. Ah, the luxury! *I can make your content clear. I can't guarantee that you will never have another confused client - I'm not a magician (regrettably). But I can remove the ambiguity and wordiness to make your message crystal clear to the majority of your readers. *I can make your website shine. I know how to write for SEO purposes. I have a background in Digital Marketing, and I can offer insightful recommendations to help your website sell your business! *I can make your writing sound like you. It's so important to incorporate your own voice into your copy. People don't buy products. They buy people. If they like you, they will read what you have to say. If not, then you can guarantee they won't buy from you. Here's what YOU bring to the table: *A clear goal for your project. (If you're not sure what you need, we can work together to define your goal, but I need somewhere to start.) *A very rough draft of whatever you need written. It can be sloppy bullet points if that's what you have, but I don't create content from scratch. *A list of social media links where I can find your business online (if applicable). This helps me learn your voice and how you relate to your customers. *A great personality! Life is simply too short to work with people who aren't jazzed about life and their business. I am required to have an hourly rate, but all projects are charged individually as fixed-price contracts. I work closely with my team to produce content that you can be proud to share with your audience. Above all else, I want you to have an excellent experience and leave our professional relationship thrilled with your choice. So, what are you waiting for? Let's chat!

    My goal is to ensure that your written voice is the strongest it can be. As a creative writing professional with a background in healthcare and the social sciences, I am simultaneously creative and analytical in my writing and editing across subjects.

Feel free to check out my profile and the feedback some of my clients gave me after I finished working on their projects: "Lucy did a great job editing and proofreading my articles. She provides a high level of service and is a fast worker. She is very easy to communicate with." "Lucy went above and beyond for a tight turnaround job -- not only did she do a great job proofreading, she made lots of helpful suggestions on how to improve our copy." "She thinks seriously about the job scope given and clarified details before actually jumping into the job."

    Expert Legal Writer, Editor, and Strategic Advisor As a Rhodes Scholar with a J.D. from Yale Law School, a Ph.D. in Rhetoric from UC Berkeley, and a Master’s degree from Oxford University, I bring a rare combination of legal acumen, analytical precision, and persuasive storytelling to every project. With extensive experience in legal analysis, writing, and strategic advising, I offer high-level expertise to businesses, law firms, nonprofits, and individuals seeking exceptional writing, editing, and consulting services. I have authored and edited high-stakes legal briefs, policy papers, and reports, with my scholarship published in top law and academic journals.

These experiences have honed my ability to craft clear, compelling, and persuasive arguments in complex, high-pressure environments. Beyond litigation, I have advised clients on a broad range of legal and business matters, helping organizations develop clear and effective messaging, draft high-impact reports and proposals, and refine their strategic communications. My expertise extends to technical writing, content strategy, and policy analysis across industries, including law, technology, business, and academia. In addition to my legal and consulting work, I am a highly skilled editor with a meticulous eye for detail.
