I’m Rachel, a freelance copywriter based in Seattle, WA.

I have—or can find—the right words for just about anything.

Writing is my work, my creative outlet, and my preferred method of personal expression. Whether I am expressing the needs of a non-profit to a potential funder, helping an agency articulate their ideas in a project proposal, or developing a thought-provoking piece of marketing copy—written communication is my strong suit.

From pieces that are serious in tone and subject, to those a bit more on the casual side, I bring a high level of professionalism and unique spark of creativity to every project. I take the time to understand each client’s specific communication goals and always carefully match their specific brand, tone, and style.

“You're a full-time copywriter! How did you get into that?"

Like many people left to explain how they wound up in a given circumstance, I have two responses to this very valid question: one long, one short. The TLDR answer is that I love writing, I'm good at it, and I have the growth mindset necessary to stay at the top of my game in an exciting and ever-changing industry.

The longer version boils down to the fact that I've always had a knack for supporting others in the achievement of their dreams. Fresh out of college, and for nearly a decade thereafter, this meant working in the non-profit sector to support youth survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. In these positions I quickly learned how vital written communication is to successful program management, community education, and efforts to fund lifesaving services.

In 2018 I began looking for my next step, wondering how I could continue supporting the organizations I loved while also taking a step away from direct service. At that point I took a specific interest in fundraising copy and began accepting freelance projects, primarily writing direct mail appeals and donor communications. In 2019, I returned to school to obtain my grant writing certification and began accepting contract-based grant writing work. Since that time, my RFP responses have resulted in awards totaling over three million dollars and counting.

Today, I bring the full breadth of this experience to every writing project I take on. So, if there's a piece of unwritten copy standing between you and the achievement of a personal or professional goal, let's put pen to paper and accomplish it together.
