The Princess of Persuasion? Yup, as cheesy as sounds, I really do call myself that. As a marketing copywriter and strategist, I wanted to stand out from the crowd by creating an unforgettable first impression. Let's face it, grabbing attention--and keeping it--is what marketing is all about.

And that's what I do for my clients by creating no-brainer marketing messages that instantly click with the people they're selling to. I work mostly with small businesses and indie professionals just like you, because it's those one- and two-person businesses that I get the biggest charge out of working with.

In addition to copywriting for your basic arsenal of marketing pieces--web content, brochures, direct mail post cards, sales pieces and business bios--I've developed three distinct packaged services.

Stay-in-Touch Newsletters

Compelling, memorable ewsletters that people love to read should be a key component of any smart marketing strategy. From concept to execution, I'll help you strategize, write and get your e-newsletter in front of your contacts.

Foolproof Touch Systems

It takes 5 to 7 touches to motivate a prospect to action, and a Foolproof Touch System automates the process for staying in touch with contacts--from the moment you shake hands to following a sale and beyond.

Personal Brand Development

A personal brand create precise, meaningful perceptions in your audience about the values and qualities you stand for. And as the face of your business, branding yourself is critical, because if you don't do it yourself, someone else will.

I want to connect with small business owners looking for affordable (and memorable!) marketing content and grassroots promotions.

BA, English, Colorado College

Certificate, Technical Writing & Editing, University of Washington

After leaving the world of technical communications behind (yes I spent many a boring year doing nothing but editing defibrillator manuals), I hung up a shingle and launched Persuasive Communications. That was back in 1999. Since then, I've worked with every industry imaginable: real estate, technology, events planning, hospitality, healthcare, professional services, consulting, training, team building, aviation, and more!
