Question 2

Can you help if I don’t know exactly what I need yet?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t telling your story—it’s figuring out where to start. A discovery call gives us a chance to talk through your goals, audience, ideas, timeline, and budget. Whether you need a feature story, website copy, a communications strategy, or a way to share your mission with more people, we’ll figure out what approach makes the most sense.

Question 3

How do I know if we're a good fit?

Accepted Answer

If you found something that resonated in my portfolio, we’re probably off to a good start. Honestly? The best way to tell if we pass the vibe check is to hop on a phone call. We'll talk through your ideas, ask a lot of questions, and see if we're the right match. No pressure; just a conversation.

Question 4

Why work with a journalist instead of a traditional copywriter?

Accepted Answer

What a great question you posed yourself, Dakota. Because I believe good copy isn't just based on SEO, ROI, and metrics. My copy is research heavy and human focused, often beginning with an interview that sets the tone of the work. I'm not just asking AI to write the same blog all of your competitors are using. Instead, I'm interviewing your staff, clients, and partners with a recorder in hand to write something authentic that captures their tone and voice.

Question 5

How do you learn my voice and tell my story?

Accepted Answer

I ask a lot of questions. I've spent years interviewing people for magazines, newspapers, and nonprofit organizations, and I've learned that the best stories come from asking good questions. Whether I'm writing a feature article, website copy, or a marketing campaign, I take the time to understand your goals, your audience, and your voice before I ever start writing.

Question 6

How do we get started on a project?

Accepted Answer

Drop me a line, slide into my DMs, or beep me if you want to reach me. Share your project scope, timeline, and any ideas you have in mind, and we can get the metaphorical ball rolling.

Question 7

What are your rates?

Accepted Answer

Every project is different, so I create custom quotes based on the scope, timeline, and goals of your project. Whether you need a single article, ongoing communications support, or something in between, I'll provide a transparent estimate before we get started. No surprises here.

Question 8

What is your turnaround time for completing a project?

Accepted Answer

Good stories take time, but meeting deadlines isn't optional. I'm proud to say I've never missed a deadline in my career. Turnaround depends on the scope of your project, research involved, and my current schedule. Before every project, we'll establish a realistic timeline, and I'll keep you informed from kickoff to final draft.

Question 9

Do you offer revisions?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. My first draft isn't precious. Great writing comes from collaboration, and revisions are where the magic happens. Most projects are polished within one or two rounds of feedback, but if your project calls for a more collaborative process, I'm happy to build additional revisions into the scope from the start.

Question 10

Do you offer ongoing writing and communications support?

Accepted Answer

If we're having a good time, why stop after one project? I love building long-term relationships with clients and becoming the person you email whenever you need words. Whether it's newsletters, blog posts, feature articles, website updates, press releases, or your next weird idea, I'm just a message away.
