Highlights

Words are my passion and my power. Through them, I have touched hearts, swayed minds and changed communities. Rest assured, through the use of intelligent, compelling prose, combined with a fresh, original approach, your project will stand out from the crowd.

As an Oxford University M.A. Hons. graduate, and an employee of the non-profit arts world, I bring a rare level of versatility to any task. My spectrum of experience ranges from complex academic writing and research, all the way to generating engaging and educational children’s materials. In addition, I have not only honed the art of writing press releases, speeches, mission statements, web content, newsletters, business plans, publicity plans and media pitches, but I have also helped put together librettos, selected poetry to complement dances, and even created original poems for performances. I’ve conducted in-depth research for articles, programs and grant applications. Working with several non-native English speakers has enabled me to grasp the essence of an individual or organization’s thoughts, goals and vision, and crystallize it into beautiful, meaningful prose.

Whatever the task, The Marketable Muse can supply the voice you need to be noticed.
