Freelance cybersecurity copywriting is a major focus of my business. I pitched Sungard Availability Services, because they had a B2B blog, and they are a large corporation in the cybersecurity and information security space. I worked with three different marketing teams to come up with the right topic. The blog’s B2B audience has complex “pain …
The Oregon Products Catalog is the brand’s flagship content (and Oregon Products is arguably the flagship of Blount International.) I’ve worked on multiple iterations of the Oregon Products Catalog, where I update my own copy, or I rewrite the work of their internal teams. My contacts include Publication Designer, Russ Borgen; Director of Global Branding, …
Nicole Forsi, a senior graphic designer for Blount International, contacted me to help write content for a t-shirt. Life is never boring for a writer! I had never written copy for a t-shirt before, so I gave her and Blount’s Creative Services Manager, Jason Williamson, several options. They chose #3, which Nicole said, “sounds like …
Internal communications copy is crucial for businesses. It takes a specific written skill set, because I’m producing something that the CEO or President directly oversees, and these individuals are always busy. That was the case when Cassidy of Bartel Contracting contacted me to help them revise descriptions for their employees. The company had used a …

I would have loved a trimmer/edger like this when I was growing up in Oklahoma. I was always running out of trimmer line! This was my second major project for Blount International. I spent a few weeks watching videos and reading picture-only instructions. I used that knowledge to write copy for Blount’s brand new Oregon …
The Portland Building has a colorful history (it’s where the statue of Portlandia lives). The city of Portland put out a Request for Proposal (RFP) in fall 2015 for a $195 million renovation. I was contacted by a local construction consulting firm to help rewrite and edit a proposal. In one day. Working alongside the …
Sometimes clients need fast work, and if the person and I are a good fit, then I do everything possible to meet their deadlines. That was the case when Tim Wilson, the Executive Director of Western Arts Alliance, contacted me for help on a Friday. He had a finished article by the following Tuesday. He …
The trick to writing video script copy is to say all the words out loud while keeping an eye on the time. Jason Williamson, Creative Services Manager of Blount, sent me a PowerPoint about Oregon Products’ new log splitter. He wanted me to write a video script. The video’s audience are people who know how …
