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.

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.
