Want to receive my email love notes from time to time? You’ll get donor comms insights + TLC for your fundraising heart.

Here’s some clarity on commonly-asked Qs.

Like most experienced consultants and creatives, my pricing represents the value I provide. I don’t work by the hour or offer an hourly rate. I’m happy to chat with you about meeting your donor comms needs with a VIP Day or longer term support.
See my services >
Scheduling a VIP Day is your best option for an urgent project. Please know that rush jobs are rare and limited, depending on my availability. They may also require an additional rush fee.

Pro design is so important to the success of your donor comms! When writing, I offer design recommendations and photo choices that support the copy. I don’t design, but I DO work closely with designers to make every piece shine. If you don’t have someone on staff or on contract, I’m glad to make a referral.
