The first book I wrote won me a Young Authors Award. It was titled "I Don't Want to be Kangaroo Anymore." I came up with the concept. Wrote the words. Heck, I even illustrated the dang book. I was in first grade. I am still working on my next book. Somewhere in between I've managed to get a bachelors in business, a masters in journalism, find true love and create two amazing little humans. I'd like to think I have a decent amount of life experience, but the truth is, just like every other human on this planet, I am forever in "school." Learning as I go. Seeking knowledge to propel me forward. Hoping to share that knowledge with others through words. I love the mystery surrounding an assignment, the confidence to pitch a great story and the gumption to tell a fellow freelance I know he can do better. If you have read this far, you also know I like to write. To balance this flaw, I take on positions editing...because, well, I am admittedly Type-A and mostly left-brained so it full-fills my need to plan, org

You have gifts to share with the world that no one else has. But if writing isn’t one of them, that’s okay. Relax! Because when words fail you, I won’t. I’ve been a copywriter, editor and ghostwriter for a dog’s age. Let me tell you a story. A few years ago, I was listed here on Media Bistro. Someone like you was looking for a copywriter to help him create an e-brochure to promote his very high-end, upscale services. I was curious. Why would a big-name real estate guy in New York City – the media mecca of the world – consider hiring me? A Canadian, eh? He said my profile stood out because it showed personality and a sense of humour. He hired me. I loved the project and our collaboration. He loved the results. Isn’t personality what you want YOUR writing to express? Not just to communicate your offering or ideas, but to genuinely understand and connect with your audience? He also appreciated that I was responsive, polite, and very easy to work with. Sound good? Please get in touch soon!
