Intro

Oh, hi there. Thanks for visiting. I’m here to help with all your writing needs: speeches, web content, articles, blogs, cool Instagram captions and so much more. My specialty? Putting your ideas into words.

Work

Public speaking is tricky. You have so much to say but don’t know where to begin. Or you’re worried about flow. How can you convey your thoughts without sounding silly or humourless? That’s where I come in. Tell me about your subject and I will create a masterful speech (or simple toast) using your voice to get your message across. This simple process applies to all forms of content. Share what’s on your mind and I’ll create magic. The best part? No one will ever need to know.

 

Experience

For more than 25 years, I’ve held a variety of professional and high-level writing positions in journalism and marketing, where I’ve been responsible for delivering everything from social-media copy to 5000-word features. Topics I’ve covered include fashion, style, parenting, health, fitness, architecture, design, travel, lifestyle trends and more. My work has been featured in magazines and websites throughout North America, including The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, The Hollywood Reporter, Flare, FASHION, Chatelaine, FQ, Today’s Parent, Azure, International Architecture & Design, Bombardier, Indigo and Sotheby’s.

In addition, I’ve written top-secret speeches for brides-to-be, parents of Bar and Bat Mitzvah kids, small-businesses owners and more. I’ve even helped people craft short anniversary, birthday and graduation toasts for intimate dinners or larger get-togethers. My goal is to make my clients’ lives easier by getting into their head and putting into words what they’re trying to say.
