About me
Hi, I'm Marie. I'm a professional writer and editor based in Maryland, with more than 10 years of experience in writing, editing, and publishing.
If you can dream it, I can write it.
I’ve always been obsessed with words—and I’ve been lucky enough to work with words to make a living!
I’ve spent most of my career writing and editing books, articles, websites, advertisements, videos, curricula, games, lesson plans, and more. I am also a creative writer and published book author. I’d love to show you my work!
From designing interactive online trainings to creating marketing copy that pops, I have you covered.
LX and INSTRUCTIONAL Design
I'm trained in the ADDIE model to provide your business with effective learning materials, including online courses, trainings and simulations, e-learning modules, user guides, and assessments.
EDITING
I started my career as a production editor, taking manuscripts from drafts to books. I'm skilled in developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading using AP, APA, Chicago, and MLA style guides.
COPYWRITING
I've created ads, websites, microsites, marketing copy, and long-form SEO content for a variety of clients in SAAS, health care, K-12, and higher learning industries. Moving people to action through words is at the heart of what I do.
