Freelance Copywriting & More

Surprise! I’m also a freelance copywriter and editor for hire! Bet you didn’t see that one coming.

So what can I write for you? Well, I don’t want to brag and say anything, but yeah: basically anything! I’ve written promotional materials for arts organizations and small businesses of all kinds, with clients including The Social Event Group, The Dirty South Food Truck and Restaurant, Kreative Katering, The Salted Pig, and more.

Own a restaurant or other business - big or small, in Hamilton or beyond - and need someone to write crisp, clear, engaging copy for your website, social media, or brochure? I can do that. Need a fresh and professional (or “pro-fresh-ional,” as I call it) biography for your portfolio? I can do that too. In search of someone who can write an amazing script? I’ve won national awards for that!

In short, if you’re looking for someone who can use words to make you or your brand sound freaking awesome, you’ll be in excellent hands with me. Have any questions or want to talk about working together? Contact me here!
