Not a word person?
That's OK. I am.
Being a small business owner or solopreneur, you have a lot on your plate. And you got into business to do what you love, not all the “busy work” of running a business.

Not all of us are "numbers people," and for a lot of business owners the decision to hire a CPA is a “no brainer.”
But what about words? Are you a “word” person? Or do you put off anything that remotely resembles sitting down at your laptop to write? Or maybe you were a decent writer in school, but you know your time could be better spent.
That’s where I come in.
I’ve always been a word person. I use my skills as a journalist to ask the right questions of you, the business owner, to tell your origin story. That story is the “why” you do what you do – connecting your potential customers to you through your story and a clear call to action.

Why Me
Why choose to work with Hilary?
It seems like almost anybody can hang out a digital shingle these days and call themselves a writer, but not everyone has tried-and-true experience. When hiring me, you get access to experience in both editorial (journalistic) writing and editing as well as content marketing and copywriting. (Oh, and I’ve written a master’s thesis as well.) Taken together, these skills provide me with the practical experience that I can apply to your project.
How this benefits you
Your content will resonate with readers – You want to pique the interest of your customers and prospective customers, and as a seasoned editor I have years of experience crafting content that connects with readers. An added bonus: I have a knack for choosing images that complement the written word, which is the perfect pairing in your blog posts and social media.
You get a consultant who speaks your language – Isn’t it good to have someone in your court who “gets it”? I’ve edited both a regional business magazine and a university business school magazine, giving me insight into several industries. I’ve worked with mom ‘n’ pop businesses to CEOS, so I can relate to the needs of many kinds of businesses in different stages of growth.
Your voice, not cookie-cutter content – You have a unique voice that speaks to your business. I am adept at capturing that voice, engaging and educating your prospects in a way that demonstrates your expertise.
Professional, polished copy makes you look good – Your credibility goes up a notch (even if potential customers don’t realize it) when your content is well written and error free.
