    If you’re looking for high-performing email campaigns & automations for your online business, you’re in the right place. I'm an email copywriter and marketing specialist who helps online businesses transform email leads & subscribers into loyal followers, raving customers, and brand evangelists. I do this through helping companies write: ✔️Daily or Weekly Email Newsletters ✔️Nurture & Welcome Series ✔️Product Launches & Sales Emails ✔️Abandon Cart & Abandon Browser Drips ✔️Post Purchase Sequences Look, my email strategy is a little different than some of the other copywriters you may come across… In fact, it would probably get me laughed out of the room if I mentioned it to a pushy “sales first” copywriter. But over 5 years of experience as a marketer has taught me that the easiest way to get the most clicks, shares, and sales from your email list is to focus on value & relationships FIRST This means taking the time to: 1) Understand your audience’s problems. 2) Show you genuinely care about their success. 3) Prove you/your product can provide the results they’re looking for. When you nail down these three things, selling to your list becomes easy because you’ve positioned yourself as an expert they can trust. I’ve used this strategy to help out dozens of clients like you. Here’s what a few of them have to say: “Tony is a true copywriter and really understands human psychology and what makes people click, and buy.” “Tony gets results. His emails brought up our click and open rates, and helped engage our audience." “He has a clear understanding of email marketing for e-commerce brands and knows how to create emails that inspire action.” My goal for each client is to take proven email marketing, copywriting, and brand-building techniques and customize them for your business. That’s why when you work with me, we’ll begin with a 15 minute deep dive call. During the call I’ll ask you about your business, your products, and the goals you have for your email marketing program. From there you’ll receive an onboarding survey. Your responses will give me an exhaustive understanding of your audience, and help me craft a unique voice that speaks directly to their deepest beliefs and desires. 👉 NEXT STEP: Shoot me a message with specific details of your project. If I determine we’re a good fit, you’ll receive a link to my calendar where you can book your deep dive call and we can talk in more detail.

If you've been NYC you know this city never sleeps, and neither do I. That means I can work on your time, I get things done on time, and I work fast without sacrificing quality (yes, there're plenty of people here who will charge half my hourly rate and then end up taking twice as long to get the work done). A lot of the projects I get here are to clean up their mess, so lets get it done right the first time together!

    Founders do not build great companies and legacies by living boring lives. You get to where you are today by taking great risks, not unlike epic heroes of the world’s most inspiring stories. Let’s record that journey together and turn it into an epic book. WHY HIRE ME? I take immense pride in hearing each author’s unique voice and making it sing out on the page. (I can’t make you a better singer, though.) For over nine years, I have worked with a wide range of clients to produce bestselling books. More importantly, I have worked with clients to transform lives. Books are a fantastic way to introduce yourself to your community on speaking tours, through a university course, or as a slightly larger version of your business card. I’m passionate about helping you achieve your goals through this book. In addition to writing nonfiction books, I also write fiction. Storytelling is my passion, and I’m pretty darn good at it, too. I know that all founders undergo their own version of the hero’s journey. You’ve heeded the call to adventure. You’ve undergone trials and tests. You’ve slayed the dragon, grown from your experiences, and now you want to return and help others on their journey. All of that makes for a pretty damn good book. My clients read early drafts of their books with anticipation…even though they’ve lived it! Have you got an epic tale to tell? I can’t wait to hear it. If your life feels stranger than fiction, even better. Let me capture your story and share it with the world. PROCESS Give me a few hours of your time and we can make magic. Here’s my process: * We book a strategy session to discuss your outline, timeline, and goals for the book. * We build an outline and begin collecting content through weekly interviews. * I write your manuscript while you sit on the beach, enjoy a martini lunch, or spend time with your family. (Beach trip not included in my fees.) * We discuss the first draft and any necessary rewrites or edits. You discuss how happy you are with your friends, family, and team. * I can connect you with a self-publishing partner or hybrid publisher. If you intend to pitch your book to agents and traditional publishers, I can create those materials for an extra fee. The overall process takes between six to nine months. TESTIMONIALS Here’s what my clients have had to say about working with me: "Megan is extremely talented at what she does. Her writing is excellent but moreover she was very responsive to all messages and was able to finish the project before the deadline. We were writing a complete book so it wasn't small job, either. An excellent writer that I highly recommend for anyone, jobs large or small." "Surprised how fast the work was completed and the tone & content are spot on!" "Working with Megan has been wonderful! She is professional, extremely punctual, a fantastic communicator, and has a pleasant easy-going nature. She was able to synthesize some ideas I had, into a very creative, concise and relevant manuscript. I'm grateful to have found her and look forward to her continued project collaboration. Without reserve, I highly recommend Megan for any creative writing needs!" "Working with Megan was a real pleasure! She's very talented, very responsive, and very professional." "Megan was so great to work with! She is professional, friendly, and super smart. Her creativity and willingness to go above and beyond was appreciated. I will look forward to working with her in the future." GET IN CONTACT WITH ME You’ve lived it. Let’s write it. Send me a message to learn more about how I can help you write an epic book.
