You’ve got the goods — I’ve got the words to prove it.

Hi! I’m Mary, and I write for small businesses, artists, makers, restaurants, therapists, service providers, and anyone making the world more beautiful, fun, or healthy.

I put together authentic, feel-good copy for websites, blogs, social media, brochures, signage — all the writing related to your business — so you can do more of what you love.

First we make a mess, then we connect the dots.

What do you do? How do you do it? What makes you different? Who can you help? These are the deceptively simple questions that can leave you spinning your wheels. That’s where I come in - I’ll send you a series of guided prompts and encourage brain spillage about your brand identity, your practice, or your mission. No worrying about coming up with the perfect words, finding the right grammar, or even knowing exactly what you want to say. Shaping a mess is my favorite game, so you just have to give me the mess.

Marketing is storytelling.

From something as simple as a slogan or a short bio, your customers and clients begin to piece together the story of your brand. Making that story clear, satisfying, and easy to remember is essential to creating connections, sharing your work, and reducing the overwhelm in your own marketing practices. Everyone loves a good story, and everyone has one. Let’s find yours.

Your story can be told and retold.

Here’s the good news: once you have a clear story to tell, you can tell it and retell it in a million interesting ways. Social captions? Artist statements? Newsletters or blogs? You’ll know what to say, because you’ve said it before. The consistency of your narrative will help your brand stick in people’s minds, creating the kind of familiarity that leads to loyalty. It feels authentic because it is.
