F.A.Q.s
Let’s answer your burning questions.
Freakishly Audible Queries
What are your skills?
Creative direction, strategy, market disruption, brand developement (everything from new product/SaaS/company brand building, refresh, and consultation), copywriting (site/app, product, content, social, newsletter, white papers, brochures, conference, and voice development), content management, (digital, print, email, full campaign, and social media management), thought leadership, content marketing, branded content/white-labeling, internal and external employer branding, intranet site content, articles, content calendar and press tracking, trademark tracking, general PR, SEO, SEM, and keyword identification. And more, but this list is unweildy as it is.
Oh, and I host a pretty rad dinner party!
Have you written thought leadership?
I sure have. Several different blogs, sites, and magazines have published my work. Find a taste in the Work section of this site or ask me for a sample.
Have you dealt with social media calendars, digital content, urgent internal announcements, and community management?
While I'm inclined to answer all of your content, social, digital, print-related questions and queries individually, the short answer is yes.
Should I hire you?
This feels too easy.
But, yes.
Are you a technical proofreader? While I am an Oxford comma fangirl, creative strategy and brand building is my one true calling. However, I do know more about grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure than the average bear.
How do you do it?
A mixture of magic and humor.
How fast can you type?
My 68 words per minute are irrelevant. This isn’t a race. It’s a goddamn war over good and puns.
What's your perfect creative situation?
Unlimited sparkling water, coworkers willing to collaborate, answer questions and share a laugh, wifi and a laptop. I prefer a comfy chair I can curl up in, but I’m not picky.
Are you a braggadocio?
While it’s fun to say ‘braggadocio,’ I don’t care who gets credit for work as long as the work gets done and we did our best. Along the way, I’ll encourage you to be your biggest fan.
We’re all here to be experts in our field and get sh*t done, however it’s always more pleasant to do that surrounded by nice people.
What are you like on a road trip?
I'm a big fan of stumbling into inside jokes, sharing snacks and family secrets, playing car games, and starting mutually agreed upon sing-a-longs. I'm also always here for an old-fashioned heart-to-heart.
Are you a good gift giver?
I'd love to shower friends with homemade gifts of affection, connection, and confections. Let's not forget to mention the handmade, store-bought amalgamations of perfection. TL;DR: Yah, I’m good.
Do you always rhyme or strive for alliteration?
I'm a hardcore word nerd, so most of the time yes. However, I can read the room and know when to reel it in.
What are your favorite words?
Thank you. I’ve been waiting for you to ask. I have an affinity for:
+ abominable
+ aplomb
+ mellifluous
Tell me something about yourself that has nothing to do with writing.
I named my two cats after West Wing characters (CJ & Toby) and my go-to karaoke song is "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness.
You didn't answer my query. What gives?
Try submitting it via the Contact tab above. I’ll get back to you when I have an answer.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
