I am a freelance copywriter currently residing in Pittsburgh, PA (originally from Cleveland, so I can handle all those jokes). Writing for the Web is my specialty, and my services include: blogging, website content, e-newsletters, social media and community management, brand engagement, e-commerce and likewise online marketing activities. \n\nMy educational background is in journalism, marketing, promotional communications and public relations (yes, all that in one degree program!) -- even that little bit of pysch helps surprisingly well in copywriting.\n\nWhat that means for you: words with p...ersonality.\n\nYour content needs an upbeat, conversational tone. My writing sells as much as it informs. By creating engaging and concise content, I target your intended audience and effectively prompt reader action. \n\nI am experienced. I meet deadlines. That's the least of what you should expect in a copywriter. I work with your project, team, audience and budget in mind. And, most importantly, I always respect your brand.

All the project details were provider to the writer/service provider and the writer informed me that she would begin 3 days later. I waited for 3 days and then for 2 more days and when I did not get a response, I contacted her. She sent a short reply saying that she won't be able to do the work. This left me with 5 wasted days (which includes 2 days for opening the project and reviewing bids - sheer waste of time and energy ) and NO results. NOT RECOMMENDED.All the project details were provider to the writer/service provider and the writer informed me that she would begin 3 days later.

“I asked to cancel project when another of my assignments went full time, which unfortunately coincided with the start date of this project. Rather than be overwhelmed and submit lackluster work to either party, I opted to cancel one instead. Project requires a lot of research, which I cannot submit to at this time.I asked to cancel project when another of my assignments went full time, which unfortunately coincided with the start date of this project.
