Copywriting for your web, digital and print projects
I write copy for businesses – web pages, brochures, profiles, news releases, emails, presentations. You name it, I’ve written it.
Whether your story unfolds on a monitor or paper, over the airwaves or through digital channels, I write copy that holds readers’ attention – and makes them want more.
Imagine getting copy that makes you want to give a standing ovation. Beautifully written. No revisions. Straight to review. That’s what my healthcare client said about a customer profile I wrote for her.
My clients don’t have the time, talent or interest to write copy that makes customers keep reading. That’s why they turn over writing and editing projects to me.
When you work with WriteNOW, you get copy that connects with your customers. You will give your readers reasons to believe you can help fix their problems. Make their lives better. Give them hope.
Good writing goes beyond the basics
Writing is like a puzzle for me. I look at the whole picture, not just one piece. That means I think about how copy I write fits with all the other messages you have out there. It’s part of your brand messaging, marketing strategy, customer relationships.
When you turn over your writing projects to me, you get the right words to fit your marketing goals.
"To paint a picture for you: I am at my desk, giving you a standing ovation. This is so well done, Melinda. You tied it all together beautifully. No revisions. Going straight into internal review. THANK YOU."
Natalie Bussard, healthcare marketing specialist
You need more words today than ever before
Plenty of clients have told me that they have the newest, the biggest, the first – and they want their customers to know all about it. I love adjectives as much as any grammarian. I’m also curious. That means I want to know why.
Why does your audience care about your surgical technology? Because it’s new? Because it’s revolutionary? I believe it’s because it can fix a health problem so a child can live a healthier life.
Why is your widget the right one for a prospect? Because it solves a problem. Makes life simpler. Saves time, money or frustration. I can take your message beyond a typical corporate introduction and deliver content your customers want to read – not click past – or opt out completely.

We’re all consumers of information
I specialize in jargon-free writing. That means I tell your story in a clear, concise way.
Whether you make a product or provide a service, I explain how your story affects people's lives. I’ve written about the hard science behind reliable solar energy and the healing power of laser surgery. The safe installation of fluid control systems. Cancer research that makes a difference in how people live. How generosity heals. Why biometric systems keep our schools safer. The rewards of owning a business and more.
"Melinda isn’t just a great writer, she is one in a handful of creative copywriters I’ve worked with over my career who can write cool copy for even the most unsexy stuff. I’m pretty picky who I recommend. With Melinda, she’s the real deal."
Steve Sult- Executive Creative Director, Sult Mine Creative, Inc.
Education over a lifetime

Those occasions are some of the most rewarding of my career. That’s when I get to hear about aha moments when the why and how of business writing make sense.
