Writing for your profit

In 2008 after deciding that teaching English was no longer for me, I began freelance writing. To serve clients well with my writing brings me great satisfaction.

I'm a world traveler and consummate book worm. I hold a bachelor's in English and master's in education from Eastern Connecticut State University, where I graduated summa cum laude.

Princeton ETS awarded me highest honors on the writing portion of the English Praxis exam - meaning that I scored in the top 10% of all first year English teachers sitting for the exam that year. I've since taught writing at both the high school and college level.

I'm new to Guru, but have built a portfolio of work as a freelancer through Upwork and private clients. Please feel free to see samples and reviews of my writing on my website http://www.noryoakes.com.

Here are two recent testimonials:

"Dynamite freelancer! Nory was able to effectively communicate the message and image I wanted to convey to potential clients (I'm an online health coach) succinctly and concisely. She took this mass of ideas, key words and thoughts in my head and honed it into an effective message that truly connected with my potential clientele. Since Nory overhauled my website content, I've not only received a myriad of compliments on the professionalism of my site, I've generated three top-paying clients who've more than recouped the cost of hiring her.
If you're looking to get a job done right, look no further!"

"Nory saved the day! I was quite 'stuck', just couldn't complete a very important sales doc. Nory worked extensively with me on the phone and via email. In just a couple of drafts that she produced VERY quickly, the sales doc was done and has helped us generate $25,000 in about 2 weeks. She is a delight to work with and I would DEFINITELY hire her again."

Carpe diem! I hope to hear from you soon!
