Creating Content in Words and Pixels

Whether you’re a business owner seeking a compelling bio, a writer wanting eye-catching photos to energize your blogs, or a realtor needing a complementary mix of persuasive words and powerful visuals, I can provide that stellar content while being mindful of your budget.

As a former editor, writer and photographer/videographer for AOL’s hyperlocal news sites, I created click-worthy features, themed photo galleries and video-driven news stories that made my individual site one of the most heavily trafficked among 900+ nationwide. I can fill your digital space with original content that encourages repeat visits and new subscribers while inspiring readers and customers to take action. To learn more about me please visit my About page and consider my services and reasonable rates below.  

Writing, Rewriting and Upgrading Content

I understand, you’re grappling for the exact words to convey the uniqueness of your goods and services. Or you’ve written flat, wordy copy that can be more concise, catchy and persuasive. Perhaps your About page needs an upgrade to better capture what distinguishes you from the competition. Have a idea you want to turn into a sponsored ad?

I provide original, creative copy and infuse existing website content with substance, punch and panache. I’ve helped clients update their websites and ads, including Walmart-affiliate Zelka HVAC, whose business inquires from new customers were boosted thanks to my site upgrades.

Need me to write an original professional bio page to help bolster your image? Perhaps you want an in-depth blog about the history of your business? Maybe a loved one passed and you have a beautiful obituary in mind?

Yes, I can help craft all of these and much more.
