Let’s Tell Your Story

 

Book Editing &
Author Services

Helping authors get published is the mission of my book editing business. From idea to publication, I provide honest and experienced advice, pushing authors to go deeper and to write more clearly and profoundly. I am also exacting when it comes to error-free prose and am happy to get out the red pen to make sure every last comma is in its right place. Whatever your publishing goals, I can help get your finished manuscript to agents or through the self-publishing process.

Content Marketing

Nothing will keep customers more actively engaged in your business than CONTENT. That’s because content is a far-reaching, low-stakes, high-value commodity that keeps your customers informed, connected, and entertained—without feeling pressure to buy—right from the comfort and privacy of their own devices.

Every day, my clients are:

- Bringing in new business based on content strategies and content calendars we built for long-term connection.

- Ranking higher in organic searches because of search engine optimization in blog posts and website copy.

- Gaining new followers on social media.

- Turning leads into customers using custom-written and strategic email marketing campaigns.

- Saving time and energy not trying to write weekly blog posts and newsletter themselves.

Brand Story/Brand Voice

Great brands are built by diving deep and asking the big questions: Who are we? What do we stand for? What do our customers care about? How can we inspire them?

Those questions get answered in a creative discovery workshop and then are used in the research and development of your new brand story and brand voice.

My brand package includes everything from discovery, research, three brand pitches, developing the chosen brand story, naming and tag lines, language style guides, and pain point driven website copy.

I also work with designers once the brand is conceived to oversee the tone and harmony between the words and the art.

Perfect for new businesses who need to get out of the gate with a focused and inspiring brand message.

Very necessary if your business is having trouble connecting with a larger audience or your company is going through a transition.

Once the brand story is complete, companies should move on to phase 2, content marketing.


Eagle-Eye Editing

I’m a total word nerd at heart, and I love my red pen. If you have reports, articles, books, or any other written material that needs the help of an obsessive compulsive editor, I’m your girl!

I am well-versed in all the style guides and can help develop style protocol for those who don’t have one yet. Commas will be in the correct places and semicolons too! Quick turn-around!
