Writing Samples

As a former PR professional and long-time writer/copywriter-for-hire, I’ve written web copy, feature articles, print and email newsletter copy, press releases, fact sheets, case studies, blog posts and more for clients in the small business, service, non-profit, healthcare, creative services, real estate and manufacturing sectors.  

These days I specialize in conversion-focused copy for websites, email campaigns, and other online communications that sell your products and services.

{*FYI, I haven’t updated this writing samples page in a looooong time (it’s on the TO DO list!), so I have plenty more writing samples where these come from. 🙂 }
