SERVICES

COPYWRITING

Best Words, Best Order

The main focus of our copywriting department (which is me, some plants, and a Slinky) is web page content, including landing and sales pages. I offer a web start-up package as well as a retainer bundle for monthly article or blog crafting.

I can also help you funny-up or poignant-up a text, or just make it sparkle like an extrovert disco unicorn.

DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING

Your Personal Idea Sherpa

Deep in the weeds of a project? I assist authors, filmmakers, and other creatives with global-level narrative strategy. I'll help you find and honor your focus, and I'll ask the questions that yank out the answers you're too close to see. Ouch!

Also in the editorial realm, I offer a web-copy review and other consulting services that will empower you to complete your own impressive self-burnishings.

“Marty’s creative genius and writing skills are awesome.  We hashed out some marketing ideas, and he’s been able to transform the ideas into witty, memorable commercials that we’ll be producing shortly.  It’s impressive to see someone produce such good material in such short turnaround times.  I look forward to our next project together.”

Bill Kerrigan, 3 Mountains Plumbing

“In the four years that I’ve worked with Marty, he’s become firmly established as a tier-one contracted writer; in fact, other writers are measured against him in terms of efficiency, quality, and engagement. In all of those areas, Marty is superlative. His ability to translate difficult concepts into instruction that connects with readers of all levels has made him the go-to writer for all the humanities domains in our company.”

“We had Marty write a wedding poem that was read during our ceremony. It brought my husband and me to tears, as well as many of our guests. Marty is very talented and so easy to work with — I am so grateful that we found him!”
