About

I’m a writer, editor, and communications consultant.

But what you really want to know is how I can help you and your business - so let’s start there. Then I’ll give you a little more background about me personally.

I work with business owners, consultants, freelancers and others who want to position themselves as experts in their respective fields. They know that the best way to market their services is to impress prospective clients with their knowledge, skills, and specialized expertise.

Does this sound like you?

You’re great at what you do, but prospective clients wouldn’t know it based on your website/blog/newsletter/e-book or other written material. Maybe you’ve started (or even finished) writing something, but it’s not quite right. Maybe your web copy is boring, or your e-book doesn’t seem professional.

For whatever reason, your written communications aren’t reflecting how great you are. That’s where I come in.

I’ll get to know you, your area of expertise, and your goals.

You’ll tell me what you’re trying to accomplish with your web site, e-book, report, newsletter – pretty much anything involving words. You’ll talk to me about what you do, what you know, and what challenges you’re facing.

Then I’ll help you create smart content that impresses prospective clients, grabs people’s attention, and generates sales for your business.

This might mean writing something from scratch, editing your writing, or advising you on how to improve the material you already have. It could also involve brainstorming ideas for your website, e-book, or other marketing material.  

In the end, you’ll have better content that helps you sell your products and services at higher prices.

More About Me

Okay, so I kind of skimped on the “About Me” stuff up top. Here’s where I make it up to you. 

I graduated from the University of Delaware in 1999, and Harvard Law School in 2004. Between college and law school, I was a Center Manager and then Area Marketing Manager for Kaplan Test Prep. My job was to market and sell test prep courses, and I sold a lot of them. In my first year as Area Marketing Manager, my region won a trip to the Caribbean – a prize for the greatest increase over prior year’s sales of any region in the country. We had a great time in the Bahamas, by the way. There was a swim-up bar and we got to watch the CEO of the company sing karaoke after a lot of margaritas. Priceless.

In law school, while I was supposed to be learning about contracts and torts, I became the Sponsor Relations Director for a student-run company called HL Central. HL Central funds student activities at Harvard Law School with sponsorships from law firms, bar review companies, and other businesses. I tripled our sponsorship and advertising revenue in two years. At this point I started to realize that I was pretty good at selling stuff.

After law school, I went to work in the Boston office of a big law firm called DLA Piper (well, technically “DLA Piper US LLP,” but only a lawyer would care about that). I was a trial lawyer, which is actually not that far removed from sales. My job was mainly to research and write convincing legal arguments, and then occassionally make those arguments to a judge in court. Trial lawyers sell their clients’ side of the story to judges and juries.  

I enjoyed my work at DLA Piper, but in April 2007 I got an offer I couldn’t resist: become the full-time President of HL Central and work from home running the business.  I took the job.

As the President of HL Central, I was responsible for all of the company’s marketing efforts – including brochures, e-mail sales letters, direct mail campaigns, and in-person presentations. I doubled the company’s revenue (over the previous year) in my first year. In my second year sales were up another 50%. I really enjoyed working from home, but I was itching to start my own business. I was able to do that in April 2009, when I founded Love Communications, LLC (that’s who you’ll make the check out to if you hire me). 

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and husband, reading (mainly about writing, business, and marketing), watching TV (don’t judge me), and writing my personal blog, The Breadwinner Mom.
