Scribble & Flourish: Let the Red Ink Fly

Expert edits to take your words from okay to “OMG”.

It’s not your main meal, but writing is one of your strengths. You have great ideas and you love writing for your business. But sometimes, you just get a little too caught up in your own head. (And on the wrong day, that can be a scary place to find yourself stranded.)

The words just don’t have that angelic song-like voice you want. The transitions from one idea to the next are so stiff, they might as well be doing The Robot. But the piece could be poetry, if it got a little expert attention.

You need an outside opinion on your writing.

As an experienced editor who’s spent hundreds of hours workshopping pieces for students, business owners, and other marketing writers, I can help you nix the drab and boring cliches that clutter up most pieces, reorganize your ideas into a more compelling structure, and give you unique style & voice insights that will make your words come to life.

Are we a good fit for an editing session?
You’ll gain a lot from my editing suggestions if you:

  • Have a basic understanding of proper writing structure
  • Read magazine articles, business blogs, or reputable websites on a regular basis
  • Already know what objectives you want your writing to achieve
  • Already have a legible piece you’ve written that isn’t quite ready to be published
  • Have trouble giving your work a critical eye and/or need a bit of guidance and direction

If your words need a tune-up, I’d be happy to bust out my toolkit and hammer, ply, drill, and wrench them into proper shape. With a well polished piece that you can be proud of, you’ll have no trouble catching buyers’ interest and creating an experience they’ll love.

 

Reviews

I was very impressed with the quality of Mike’s work on our FAQ project. He’s a knowledgeable resource who came up with great material for us and positioned it in a well-laid-out way.

Working with Mike has been an absolute pleasure! His dedication to his clients’ success is evident through his comprehensive research into Evolve Design Build’s products and goals. He is professional, articulate, and has a rationale behind every decision he makes. I would highly recommend!

I’m new to freelance writing and content marketing, and I don’t yet understand how to manage the business side of it. I came to Mike’s workshop, “Cash Fail to Cash Flow”, looking for advice. I’ve attended similar workshops in the past, but usually about 3/4 of the information is irrelevant or information I can’t apply, leaving only bits and pieces of good information to take home. Mike’s workshop was exceptional, because in only four hours he covered the basics on how to find your own brand personality that’s true to who you are, mix in professionalism, and put your brand out in the world without becoming a commodity. All of his tips for achieving success were valuable and doable, and I left the workshop feeling confident that I can have a successful freelance business!

You spend years building your brand, and it’s a harrowing and painstaking journey. So when I asked Mike to tackle the brand refresh for the Okanagan coLab (okcolab.com), I had some fears about my company losing the essence of its unique identity.

Mike immediately put my mind at ease: his attitude, his skills and his professionalism blew me away at every stage of the project. He took the initiative to solve problems as soon as they would arise. He shines under intense pressure, and he gave us stellar creative work — on time and on budget. He’s one of the few true experts in the industry.

Since the initial rebrand, Mike and I have collaborated on several other projects. Each time I have worked with him I’ve seen a tremendous impact on coLab as a business, through growing audience engagement, and most importantly, increased leads and sales. I’ve worked with other writers before, but I’ve never seen anything like the results that Mike delivered. He’s also easy to get along with, and working with him is a whole lot of FUN!

If you want to see how brand storytelling and copywriting can help you build a loyal tribe and grow your business, Mike is your guy. I’ve experienced these benefits firsthand. I would highly recommend Mike — and I do so regularly to other business owners!
