I write copy, long and short, and strategize for all types of products and services to meet deadlines, supplement the team's expertise, and take a load off the staff.

Whether you run an agency, a design firm or a marketing department, chances are good that you face deadlines of numerous projects from clients or bosses. Your staff are overworked and not always up to some of the challenges they face. You may have designers, but no writer on staff to shepard the layout of strategic concepts. Or, you may have heavy internal communications that you can't keep up with due to staff workload

You can't afford the time and expense involved in educating your designers on the products, but how else can the design team create work in harmony with the calls to action? Usually this is solved by looking to a freelance service provider for copywriting.

The copywriting service I provide normally begins with a conversation, usually by phone. To begin with you don’t know me except for what you read and see here on my web site. However, you didn’t get to where you are without some insights into what makes a professional copywriter tick.

I am a professional making my living as a copywriter. I am competitively priced, at the mid-range for well-seasoned copywriters of similar ability and experience. I will quote you a price based upon the creative brief.

Most copywriters can write features and benefits. I can do that with ease.

I intimately know the structure of profiles and articles as written in magazines like the Wall Street Journal.
