I've always been someone who people, especially my mother, would tell me I had a way with the written word. I can still remember the magic when I first learned to read! In school, I shone in subjects requiring creativity and communications: english and literature, art, and drama (despite being painfully shy as a youngster -- that's all but gone now!).
Business came next, where I learned the old-fashioned business ethic: diligent, nose-down work standard and plenty of business savvy. I've come full circle and now combine all my natural talents with those I've learned and honed along the way.
Oh yes, I don't play golf nor do I have baseball, hockey, or football tickets to offer. None of those perks. The best perk of all in hiring me to write for you is getting performance and results you can't count on with a game of golf.
Allow Diane to create an inspiring and unique world for you through the power of words!
The POWER OF WORDS:
- Words can inspire -- consider all the books, Websites, and individuals collecting memorable and otherwise significant quotes. What quotes have affected you? What speeches stand out in your mind? {perhaps John F. Kennedy's "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." from his Inaugural Address January 20th, 1961}
- Words can create an indelible impression or statement that often continues through generations such as Rhett Butler's "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." from Gone With The Wind or "If you build it, they will come." - the voice in Field of Dreams, adapted from the novel Shoeless Joe.
- Words create unique worlds like Star Wars and The Chronicles of Narnia.
- Words have taught us everything from history & politics, to cooking, to how to how to train a dog, to how the human brain works, and beyond -- there are no limits to the power of learning from words.
- Words have the power to create a brand, sell, call to action ... Nike's "Just Do It" campaign.
Hiring a professional writer makes the difference between words that work and words that don't.
I specialize in dog writing, although my writing also includes a strong connection with business writing, plusnatural/holistic health & nutrition for humans and canines, gardening, nature & the outdoors, the environment, and the business of / craft of writing. As a freelance writer here are some of the creative writing solutions I can take off your hands and speed down the road to success:
- magazine writing – profiles, informative, how-to, essay, as well as trade magazines.
- information-rich articles -- to drive people to and keep them at your website: another credibility booster. Have Diane write articles for your website, magazine, or newsletter.
- newsletter articles -- keep your members, volunteers, staff, or customers informed, while boosting the image and loyalty to your organization or publication
- book reviews -- get your book reviewed so your target market will want to seek it out (sorry no e-books or POD). If you're a magazine editor and need someone to do an occasional review, contact me.
- copy revision or proofreading -- taking an existing document (letter, article, web content, proposal, business plan, anything with words!) that you haven't had time to finish or revise. I'll 'clean it up' and get it publication-ready for you! A note about proofreading: Spelling and grammar errors mean fewer sales for businesses and a decline in credibility -- have Diane proofread it and avoid those embarrassing mistakes.
- press releases -- watch your product, services, or employees make headlines with professional press releases ... far more effective than advertising
- company profiles / employee profiles - giving your customers/clients reason to connect and do business with you
- case studies -- fortify your business benefits with your customer's success stories
- letters -- effective, persuasive, professional (please note: I do not do direct mail) -- especially useful for non-profit organizations.
- photographs -- I can also provide photographs as an added service to editors. It's not always necessary to hire a photographer to accompany a story -- talk to me to discuss your photography requirements. I'm also available for event photography assignments.
