How I Can Help

One of my favorite authors, John Green, once described writing as “building a jigsaw puzzle as you’re trying to solve it.”

That’s how I feel about my work. Whether I’m writing, editing, or crafting strategy, I love weaving seemingly disparate thoughts and ideas into a coherent, compelling whole.

  • As a former magazine editor, I’m acutely aware of the need for freelancers to follow assignment guides and meet tight deadlines while delivering exceptional copy. See my portfolio for a peek at some of my favorite work. 

  • Whether you need structural edits or a line-by-line proofread, I’ll employ my wealth of experience to polish your project to a high shine before you push “publish.”

  • When you’re down a key communications project manager for several months, you need someone with skill, collaboration, and adaptability to step in and keep the ship sailing. With experience serving as a temporary editor for both Currents and The Stevens Indicator, I can help!

How I Work

I work on a per-project basis for the vast majority of my clients. The process goes something like this:

Initial Contact

You contact me about your project and we set up a free 30-minute consultation call.

Consultation

During the call, I take notes and ask questions about the parameters of your project. Please have some basic information ready to share, such as deliverable deadlines, scope details (e.g., one magazine profile, 12 stakeholder interviews, etc.), and estimated budget.

Proposal

Following the call, I put together a proposal for your project. You review the proposal, then accept or decline it. We move forward accordingly.

In limited cases, I work under a retainer agreement. Please mention in our consultation call if you’re interested in pursuing a retainer agreement.
