Building trust and support
with inspiring writing

Good communication can engage your volunteers and donors, strengthen your relationships with funders and partners, and inspire new supporters. With strong writing you can create great fundraising materials, annual reports, newsletters, and news releases – the kind of materials that get noticed and get results.

At this site you'll find original articles and a collection of resources to help you with these and other common non-profit marketing and communications needs. You can also find information about my writing and strategy services.

Please call me at 647-287-4344 for more information.
