Writer in Saint Albans, Vermont

Hi! I’m an American citizen living in a small Canadian village near the Vermont border. Helping clients find, develop, and communicate their brand voice makes me excited to “go” to work each day (most of my clients are virtual). I also offer a unique approach that adds value to our work together and sets me apart from other copywriters. My 20-year writing career has included copywriting, editing, journalism, college-level teaching and creative writing. I understand that a thriving business relies on writers who can discern what information must be communicated and how; this requires a fine-tuned ear and the ability to ask the right questions, both of which I have. Company copy must both express values in its brand voice and also attract a particular demographic. I offer my clients several choices with copy per assignment in order to "try out" different tones and writing styles. I'm fearless in my range of creativity, and collaborators repeatedly express their delight in my finding a great solution in an unexpected form. But clients don't stay with a copywriter long-term simply because the person writes well. What's unique about my offering is my capacity for and commitment to creating and sustaining healthy relationships. I understand that words matter, and communicating effectively means finding the precise copy to get the audience’s attention and engage them in an interesting and ongoing conversation. Good copywriting is foundational for good relationships, and those relationships are what make or break a business. My clients are the best people to ask about my work. The quote in my subject line was part of a testimonial from Editor Andrew Boden. (You can also find more on my website at http://....net) Here's what Founder and CEO of startup JogAlong Stroller, Mike Dresher, had to say: "Gail’s work is first-class. Whether it’s video scripts, blog articles, letters, or other writing projects, she consistently delivers a powerful flow of words. She is also a collaborator, giving us new ideas along the way, frequently building on an initial request to make the final product better. Gail has a great grasp of our business and its fantastic to trust someone like her to help build our image. On top of that, she is fast and fun to work with. Two thumbs up!"
