How do you describe what's for sale, hit the key points, and make it understandable and appealing to the reader? I can help you do it, using as few or as many words as you'd like. I’ll ensure it sounds like your brand by following your in-house style guide (or creating one for you if needed).
What needs to be said? Who’s your audience, and what's the end goal? Understanding all of that will let me create messaging that fits your needs and helps you reach your goals. I have a knack for taking a lot of info, finding key points, and writing it so it works.
You know what your business offers, but do you know how to say it? And strike the right tone? From a tagline to full descriptions,I can help you capture your brand and convey it. And if you need a creative brainstorm for a name or campaign, I’ll pull all the details together and present lots of options.
Are you looking for a way to share health information without sounding preachy or boring? When it’s relatable, fun, and easy-to-grasp, readers connect with it. Using a conversational tone and a quick-get message, I can help you reach your consumers and inspire them to take action.
From base-level editing (typos and grammatical errors) to broader suggestions (rearranging or recasting sentences), I’m happy to bring my professional proofreading skills to written projects. I’ll use your style manual of choice, and can help you create an in-house style guide if needed.
