I'm bringing something back this summer


Hi Reader,

Most business owners have a collection of writing projects that live in a strange middle ground. They're important enough to stay on the list, but not urgent enough to get done.

Over time, those projects begin to pile up. The website doesn't quite reflect where the business is today. Marketing materials need attention. Opportunities come along that require a stronger bio, a better LinkedIn profile, or a clearer way of talking about what you do.

When you've spent years building a business, it's hard to tell the difference between what everybody knows and what only you know. The assumptions become invisible. The language feels obvious. The stories you've told a hundred times no...

Hi Reader, Most people who reach out to me think they have a writing problem. Their website doesn't sound like them anymore. Their LinkedIn profile feels dated. They keep rewriting the same paragraph, convinced the next version will finally be the one that clicks. Sometimes they're right. More often, the website is the symptom.
