What do you want in a writer?
Someone who creates magical connections among people.
That’s how a writer composes the kind of copy that turns audiences into ambassadors.
Need help with your own writing?
What you do is probably in my niche.
My writing niche is that I’m not limited by a niche. I write for clients from across a spectrum of industries, services, and topics. See for yourself in my portfolios.

Success Stories
Doing a workshopping session with Terra was a game changer. We knew what we wanted to say, but she took it to the next level! It was easy, efficient, and collaborative. She instantly took our feedback and revised it until it read like a smarter version of us. We'll definitely be doing this again! LoriandErin.com

I fancied myself a pretty good writer until it came time to update my website. Workshopping that content with Terra was such a great experience! She helped me clearly communicate the consulting services that I offer in a way that makes sense to the broad audience I serve. The format of our workshopping session was fun, and Terra helped me feel confident in the message I'm conveying on my website.

apPROach Consulting, LLCI had been stalled for months on building my bookkeeping business website when I met Terra and immediately knew she would be awesome to work with. She took the time to really get to know me and all of the passion I have behind my business and my life, then transformed that into exactly what I wanted for my website. I actually shed a tear when I read her first draft. Not only did she deliver above and beyond on the writing, she is one of the most professional and personable people I’ve ever worked with. She knows how to connect with her clients and I felt so valued. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Terra again!

Strengths-Edge, Certified Strengths Strategy Coach Workshopping with Terra allowed me to confidently communicate with clients when it comes to what I offer. In only a 90-minute session, she was able to take my long, confusing new-lead email and transform it into a succinct, informative message that will ultimately turn leads into clients. Her process uncovered so many helpful truths for me; she took the time to understand me and my business, and I look forward to working with her again in the future!

I already knew Terra quite well when I realized I needed help writing the content for my redesigned website. Terra's approach to writing is very similar to my approach to designing. She really gets into your head and helps you figure out what you want to say and to whom. She's thorough and intuitive and a lot of fun as well. It was fantastic to work with a fellow creative. The final result is perfect for me and my business!

Terra, it’s been great working with you. I’m very impressed by how easily you adapted to these nursing/health care topics. Made my job a lot easier!
Sarah Goldthrite, Director of Marketing, Communications & Alumni Engagement
School of Nursing, University at BuffaloTerra has a way with words but her biggest strength is her ability to listen. She takes the time to get to know her clients and understand both their business and their goals. She took on our website content and helping us to develop a tagline; she was thorough, easy to work with, creative (with a dry topic), and nudged us along to meet our deadline! We are so pleased with our finished product and know we couldn’t have gotten there without Terra’s guidance and support!

Terra is simply one of the finest writers I have ever met. In my 20+ years as an editor, I worked with countless freelance writers; Terra’s uncanny ability to transform an idea into a story far better than you visualized is matchless.

Editor, Writer, Content CreatorWhen you can connect with someone that has a high work ethic and desire to make the piece the best it can be, it’s a joy. We had a blast workshopping my one-on-one business coaching sales page together. Terra brought a fresh perspective which was important to me (to stand out from others in my niche). I not only got the motivation that I needed to complete the project, I felt secure knowing that I had Terra by my side. www.kcrossi.com

I know many who are flocking to her and if you would like a stellar example of her work, have a look through my site… Oh and she’s pretty cool too! Reach out. You won’t be disappointed.

Terra, you never get it wrong. You’ve got to be the most accurate journalist I have ever met, and you turned all those ‘snippets’ into a cohesive story.

Whitney E. Elrod, Wine Club Manager, Sheldrake Point WineryWorking with Terra is a joy–I genuinely look forward to our quarterly interviews and brainstorming sessions for our newsletter. She asks the best questions and somehow turns my disjointed thoughts into a coherent, polished piece. She is insightful, pays close attention to detail, and her work is always of the highest caliber. After several years of working together, I feel we are more colleagues and friends than client-consultant.
Terra helped me with all the copy for my website and I couldn’t be happier with the results. In addition, she’s a really freaking cool chick!

immaginé PhotographyCollaborating with Terra for our semi-monthly blog posts gave us a consistent, strong voice. She is a creative thinker who asks intuitive questions, and was able to turn 30-minute stream-of-consciousness phone interviews into concise, interesting reads. Whenever there's chance to work—or grab a drink—with her, I'll jump on it.

Lauren Goetz
Owner, Everyday Hands, Inc.Since I’m a writer myself, I look at others’ writing with a competitive eye, but Terra’s work always holds up. She is also completely reliable and meets every deadline. She takes everything she does seriously and does it to the best of her ability, which is considerable. I recommend her highly.
