I am a graduate of the George Washington University and have spent the last 12 years working as a freelance copywriter and speechwriter in the nonprofit, entertainment, business, and political sectors. I specialize in taking the time to understand my client's voice and transforming it into professional and powerful writing that sells products, services, and visions. To accomplish this, I work in a five step process: 1. Consultation. I offer a complementary consultation where I determine your style, background, and needs. I explain the services that I can offer you, and figure out if we're a good match. We'll establish a clear contract with a guaranteed price and deadline. 2. Sample. Within hours of deciding to work together I will send you the first paragraph of a potential new piece. This will either confirm that I'm on the right track or need to adjust. 3. First review. I will send you the first copy of whatever I wrote for you and wait for feedback. I will make major edits and changes based on what you tell me. 4. Second live review. I will go over the work live on phone or Skype. I will read it aloud or have you practice reading it aloud, and make minor edits so it will flow naturally. 5. After action review. I will discuss the effectiveness of my work in meeting the end goals you laid out during the consultation. This helps me refine my skills and better assist you in future endeavors.
