Welcome...
Experience
I have been in the fundraising industry for more than 25 years, and have written for more than 150 different fundraising organizations from homeless
shelters, to hospitals, to environmental organizations.
Recent Awards
2008-2009 New England Direct Marketing Association Gold and Silver Awards for Direct Mail Fundraising, and Gold Award for Best Copywriting.
2007-2008 Direct Marketing Fundraisers Association Package of the Year Award - Renewal Letter
Creative and Successful Letters
My letters have won awards. But the best awards in direct-mail
fundraising are results. My letters consistently get results, as evidenced
by the fact that I have written for many non-profit organizations for more than
a decade. I wrote for an international development agency for 11 years, a domestic development agency for 12 years, a school for guide dog training for 15 years, and I have written for a national shelter for runaway teens and a hospital for advanced cancer patients for more than 20 years.
For Agencies
Writers don't have to be hard to work with. I have worked in and for
direct mail fundraising agencies for more than 25 years. I can help you
meet short deadlines, and I know how the agency creative process works.
I'll fight for my copy when I think it's important, but I know your priority is
to create letters that match the organization as well as get results.
For Non Profit Organizations
I have worked directly with many non profits as an independent writer. I
can help you make your communications with your donors professional and
successful, while protecting your relationship with those who support your
organization. I have also been involved with charitable organizations as a
volunteer, an employee, and a board member, which helps me to understand all the
pieces that have to come together to create a letter that reflects your
organization and raises money.
