I write articles for mainstream media and custom content for individuals and organizations.
Throughout my long career, I’ve worn many hats. I’ve been a reporter, a copy editor, a page designer, and a proofreader. That variety of experience means I can be versatile, adapting to each client’s specific needs.
Who I work with
In the past few years, I’ve had bylined stories in the Toronto Star, CBC News, MaRS Discovery District, and CPA Canada, the association of accountants. I’ve also written custom content for a women’s clothing store, a mortgage broker, an autism clinic and a business consultant who specializes in digital transformation.
I’ve also ghostwritten articles and blog posts for solopreneurs, small businesses, and not-for-profit organizations. If you have a story you need to tell, but lack the time and skill to do so, I can help.

My superpowers
I use a journalistic style.
I’m a linguistic minimalist, and proud of it. I remove the clutter so the point is clear, memorable and delightful.
I can synthesize information quickly, transforming complex narratives into relatable stories that connect emotionally with readers.
I’m great with long forms of content, from in-depth features to full-length books.
I’m skilled with collaborative writing and ghostwriting.
I write journalistic, informational stories. I keep it simple, but I never dumb it down.
I love to work with people who see storytelling as a driver for social change and positive impact.

I see the big picture
I’m a content evangelist and a publishing consultant. I advise my clients on content strategy, visuals, SEO, and social media.
I’m able to oversee editorial projects from ideation to planning, writing, editing, design, proofreading and publishing.

HOW IT BEGINS
It all begins with a phone call, which we can schedule at a time that works for you.
At this initial meeting, we discuss your content needs and how storytelling can help you meet your organizational goals. You may already have a clear idea of your needs, or we may brainstorm and refine ideas together.
An estimate
Based on our conversation, I provide an itemized estimate that includes a brief description of what you need, how much it will cost, and when I can deliver. If you like what I’m proposing, you approve the estimate and we’re good to go!
My fees
My proposals are based on an hourly rate of $100, or a daily rate of $600. All the details about the cost of your project will be explained in your estimate.
For large content projects, I ask for half of the fee up front, and the rest when the work is done.
MY REVISION PROCESS
The content I’ve written for you should reflect your expectations. At a prearranged time, we can meet on the phone to go over the document in real time. If you have any concerns or questions, you can describe them in this phone call. We’ll make simple corrections in real time. If significant changes are required, I’ll revise as needed and send a new version as soon as possible.
THE OUTCOME
Once you’ve approved the final draft, it’s ready to publish. Finished content belongs to you. The content remains in your control. You can alter the content or publish it as is. You can republish it whenever and wherever you want.
