What it’s like to work with me.

Everyone has

a story.

It’s true that every single person or business has at least one great story. I hear them all the time. Sometimes, though, people struggle to identify their own story. Or, they’re not sure how to make it sound interesting.

That’s where I come in. Before I can write or edit a single word, I listen to you. Because what I really do is connect people. Once we connect I can write the kind of copy that connects you with your audiences, creating ambassadors for your story.

Ready for your interview?
It’s painless.

I promise.

You should leave an interview or input session feeling like you’ve just had a revitalizing chat with a new friend. My interview process is by-design an informal, organic exchange. So, we simply have a good conversation.

People tell me things.

People who are enthusiastic about what they do always tell me way more details than I need. (It’s all in the strictest of confidence, of course!) Why do I patiently collect so many details that I might not use? Because I write better, and tell your story better, when I know The Big Picture. Interviews take place in-person, by video-conference, or by telephone.

Then, I can write.

Stories are best told over snacks or beverages.

Let’s find out what it might be like to work together. At the very least, we can swap a few good stories.

“Though she be but little, she is fierce.”

My mother was all about that bling. Anything and everything shiny. Her hair, her makeup, her clothes were always 110% on-point. She had style and always looked good and the effort she put into it that meant she was on her own timetable for any event. She would be ready to go when she was ready to go.
