I specialize in entertaining, impactful copy that leaves an impression and leads to action. Narrative is my stock-in-trade, and humor is the strongest tool in my kit. As a Senior Marketing Copywriter, I’ve researched, written, and overseen the production of newsletters and articles for financial and consumer audiences, including Bank of America’s home-loans newsletter and HOME Outlook. I’ve produced a wide range of direct-response pieces, helped develop and update brand style guidelines, trained copywriters, and even scripted video submissions for industry awards. In my spare time I run a one-person publishing company and have written and published 16 novels.
