Whether we are working together on a single project or building a long-term relationship, I take a personalized approach to each client, so that all of the written materials I provide for you reflect your organization’s story and mission. I make it a priority to meet with your program staff to learn about your values, goals, and activities—and I ask lots of questions so that I can fully understand your work.

    • Proposals: General and program support templates; foundation, corporate, and government proposals; renewals

  • Whether it’s a star-studded gala or an intimate cultivation event, I can help ensure your communications are flawless. I have experience writing for celebs and VIPs and understand the fast-paced environment of high-profile events. At the same time, I believe even the most laid-back fundraising event can benefit from carefully planned communications. Services include:

    • Drafting speeches for staff and board members, special guests, presenters, etc.

    • Conducting research to capture speakers’ voices and experiences

    • Making final edits once the speakers have added their own personal touches

    • Reviewing the full program to avoid repetition and ensure consistency of messaging

    • On-site services: For NYC-area events, I can be on site before and during the event for last-minute changes.

    • Event collateral: Invitations, event websites, auction catalogues, programs, and more

  • Although I currently work primarily with nonprofit organizations, I have also worked with book publishers, periodicals, corporations, art galleries, individual authors, and more. Please reach out to me if you have a project that needs writing or editing expertise.
