Professional Experience

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!
