Up in Lights

Life as a freelance writer is crazy at times: working at the dinner table, burning the midnight oil, cranking out a project while nursing a six-month-old. But every once in awhile, something pretty cool happens that makes it all worthwhile.

For me, it was getting interviewed by a reporter for U.S. News & World Report last week — he was doing an article on successful women

"Melissa 'gets it'. She can take my thoughts and turn them into a piece that gets my message across.  Follow-up is immediate and she NEVER misses a deadline.  I cannot recommend using Melissa's talent enough!"

"I will definitely be working with Melissa the next time I need copy for my website. She is very talented -- I am very happy with the quality of work and the price. She definitely made my first experience using Elance.com an incredibly positive one."

- Ruben

"Words by Melissa was very quick and professional in her delivery. She handled all the preliminary steps of the review on her own. The final edited text sounds very professional and to the point. I highly recommend Melissa and we would use her professional services again."

Your Vision, Phrased to Perfection

A client once told me my writing was "like a breath of fresh air." I can think of no greater compliment. The market is fat with thousands of copywriters who want your business. The truth is, it's very tough to find the right combination of talent and work ethic. Whether you need 20 pages of web content, a comprehensive white paper, or just a gripping turn of phrase, you need it done well -- ready to publish, ready to send to clients, ready to start working for you NOW. And you'd prefer a writer who is professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Sound about right? If so, let's talk.

If you need it, I can write it. You've come to the right place for:

  • Web copy for Home pages, About Us pages, and category pages
  • Blog articles, in-depth feature articles, and editorial content
  • White papers and reports
  • Product descriptions for e-commerce websites and catalogs
  • SEO (search engine optimization) services, including meta titles, meta keywords, and meta descriptions
  • Newsletters and marketing materials
  • Proofreading and editing

At Words by Melissa, my goal is to help you save time and money without sacrificing quality.
