Are you struggling with something that you’re trying to write and for whatever reason, the words are just stuck? Let me help! I offer a number of services at incredibly reasonable prices to assist you with everything from creative writing, to resumes, to business documents. I’d love to help you craft something amazing, or work with you to build your skeleton, put meat on the bones of your work, or slice and dice your writing to something clean, mean, and easily digestible to the masses. (I’ll even help you plump that sucker up in a way that no one will notice that extra weight you’re required to have!)
Skeleton Building
You have a problem – whether it’s an assignment due for school or work, a new resume you need because you want a change, or perhaps you just want to get the words out of your head like I do. Let me help you build that skeleton – and you can do the rest!
Typical time commitment – 1-2 hours depending on the document, with a 15-minute consult.
Let’s put some meat on those bones
You have your framework, your foundation. But you have no idea how to flesh that sucker out. Let me help you add healthy weight to your writing, without making it bloated or even worse, unrecognizable.
Typical time commitment – 1-4 hours depending on the document, with two 15-minute consults. Resume writing falls under this category!
Uh oh – your work needs a plastic surgeon
Got a document that needs to shed some weight? Perhaps you like your content, but you don’t like how it’s portrayed. If you need a fresh eye, or someone to be cruel and cutting, I’m your girl. I can do as little as proffer advice as to how to clean up your vision, or I can edit it while still keeping your voice intact. Or – if you’re looking for a more nuclear option, I can redline the hell out of it and give you back a clean, mean, hit you in your face document.
Typical time commitment – Varies depending on your document. 15 minute consult to start, then we can go from there!
A la carte
Maybe you don’t know what you need or want. I’m happy to offer a 15-minute consultation for $10 to have you walk me through what you’re looking for so we can determine how I can best help!
why you might want to pick my brain
I have spent the last umpteen years of my life educating myself, both formally and informally. I joke (kind of) about being an overachiever with an inferiority complex, and I suppose going to college 3 times might demonstrate that. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in English from SUNY at Buffalo, in 2001 and then followed that in short order with a Master’s of Science in Sport Administration from Cansius College in 2003 – a degree that was half sports and half business administration. After a short (that’s a lie) break, I went back to get my MBA from Cansius, graduating for the third and final time in 2015. I started a career in banking in May of 2000, expecting to have that bridge me until I got my big-girl job, and for some unknown reason, it stuck. 24 years later, I’m still doing the damn thing, and have spent way more time than I care to count using those degrees to craft processes, procedures, policies – you name it, I’ve likely written it. For the last 18 of those years, I’ve been fortunate enough to be engaged in Compliance and Risk Management, having stints in multiple types of Regulatory Compliance and enterprise risk management positions.
But my passion has always been my writing – I have examples of books I’ve written throughout the years (I mean check out these gems below), but I finally got one published in 2017.
I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I help people write for a living. That would be a lie. However, if you ask anyone who knows me, I’m the first person they go to when they either need something written, rewritten, edited, or just generally opined on. My red pen and I are besties, and I can be as nice or as cruel as you need me to be, while still allowing you to maintain your voice.
