From my virtual base in Saint John, NB, Canada, I work with people across the region, the country, and around the globe. Let’s figure out what I can do for you.
Here’s the Triple-C-SI services I offer….
I work independently or as part of a team to bring your project from concept to final product. Here’s a primer of the writing, editing, and project management processes that works well for most clients.
In Writing
You’ve got a new e-mail, sales and/or direct mail marketing, or SWAG campaign, and you need the precise wording that’ll ignite an increased, immediate reader/recipient response rate. You’re getting only a 0.05% response rate, yet you want to achieve 2% or maybe even greater with a higher conversion rate. How can I make that happen? We’ll discuss the nature of your project—what you need to achieve, your specifications, and time frame—and then I’ll begin to collect information. I’ll ask you for background material, or interview contacts within and/or outside your organization; and, after conducting the research related to your project, I’ll start to write. Whether it’s for specialized direct mail sales campaigns, articles, narrative product brochures/flyers/specification sheets/annual reports, or any other wordsmith-requiring need, I’ll offer syntax-tical solutions for your communications projects. You’ll receive a first draft of your project on/or before our agreed upon deadline. This is your chance to process approvals, make changes, and ask for revisions. You’ll then receive a final draft, unless we make arrangements for any additional round of edits.
With Editing
You’ve got copy—a brochure, a report, a product description. Information’s there, but it’s just tooooooo ddddaaaaarrrnnn loooonnnngggg and cumbersome. Dead—It lumbers on the page; it just doesn’t ring. You suspect no one’ll read it. Or maybe they might suffer it like those agonizing delays listening to an elementary remedial reader struggling to get… “T-Theeeraaah…T-Throoooyah….Thraaaooo…Through… Yeh, that’s it!”....through the sentence while everyone else in the grade school class was impatiently waiting on pins-and-needles, eager to bolt for a recess break! I’ll create words that urge them to read on! Narrative that waltzes with ease. Words that become flesh—felt, smelt, tasted. And/or I’ll pen organic prose with a passion to affect human responses you’d never thought possible. Imagine your readers/clients weeping, or side-split laughing, or rising up with captivated interest, eager for activism and energy in your campaign promotion, product, community cause or organization. First we’ll sit down and envision what your mind’s-eye percepts wants as a reaction from the mind’s-eye percepts from those reading your message. My editing and rewriting skills can transform confusing business jargon into compelling ideas and must-read, easily comprehended material! It’ll resurrect new life into tired or dead sounding messages—so much so, why even Lazarus would stir in his 2nd grave with envy at my powers with pen persuasion! Whether a project needs story narrative, syntax restructuring, organic prose; supplemental photography or videography; or it simply requires additional research, I’ll make changes and submit them for your review before producing finished product.
On Project Management
Working with either your staff or my associates in graphic and web design, I’ll manage creation of a newsletter, a brochure, or a website from concept through publication. We’ll work on a costing-out budget, the time line, and an approval process which guarantees delivery of your print or web-based publication within budget and on schedule. As project manager, writer, and/or editor, I’ll communicate with other members within your organization (or outside it) to coordinate all aspects of the project, and ensure a product whose message and look conveys the EXACT message YOU want—and reflects the peak level of your project goals and organization’s mission.
