I specialize in the development of communications strategies and donor-facing written materials for nonprofits and charitable organizations. My work spans direct mail and e-appeals, newsletters, cases for support, social media ads, web copy... And more! Whether writing from the perspective of a CEO, beneficiary, or table (yes, really), I know how to make your unique brand voice shine through and compel people to believe in the importance of your cause. I've written for charities in just about every sector, and am particularly passionate about working with organizations driven by social justice and equity-oriented missions. I have additional expertise in writing for housing and health care. I'm open to new writing and consultancy opportunities, and look forward to discussing how we can further your mission.
