Communications

​I help purpose-driven organizations share their stories, enhance visibility and highlight their missions by offering a range of writing, editing and communications services. Drawing on my background in media and writing, my process is simple: I ask meaningful questions, listen closely and research thoroughly to get to the heart of a message so important work gets the attention it deserves.

​

What I do:

  • Project manage and write annual reports, marketing brochures and other key public-facing materials. 

​

  • Ghostwrite a range of communications for leaders, including editorials and appeal letters. 

​

  • Collaborate with designers and photographers to pair my words with powerful visuals that help tell your story in print and online.

​

  • Uncover and write stories that inspire audience interest, media coverage and philanthropic gifts. 

​

  • Edit works, from short articles to book manuscripts. I have worked with new writers, academics and well-established authors and am fluent in AP and Chicago style.

​

  • Other needs? Let's talk.
