Write Better,
Right Now

What is Writing Coaching?
A writing coach is kind of like a personal trainer; but, instead of focusing on a stronger body, they
focus on stronger communication. Good writing delivers impactful, results-driven communication
while clarifying your thinking. Effective communication powers our interactions with others, enables
productive meetings, and ensures alignment and progress on projects while making participants
feel engaged and confident. Miscommunication causes inefficiencies, mistakes and
unnecessary delays, not to mention frustration. In coaching, we practice impactful, results driven
communication, emphasizing readability fueled by a confident, accessible style.

PERSONALIZED ATTENTION
Truly Top-Notch
Mary works one-on-one with you to develop your ideas and articulate them clearly and impactfully to get the results you want.
Mary's impact on me has gone far beyond writing tips for concision and grammar. Her relentless emphasis on "writing for the reader" has forced me to have more empathy when I write for the reader's context and short attention span which leads to docs that are more valuable to a wider audience. She's also sharpened my thinking by having a high bar for a concise objective and pushing me to make sure everything in a doc helps accomplish that objective.

Testimonials
She's sharp, logical, and kind which has made her an amazing thought partner in my writing and clarifying what a compelling strategy could be for next year. She's made an effort to come up the curve on the YT lingo and she's developed a great sense for what leadership would find exciting.
I've learned more from working with her than any single person in the past year, and look forward to continuing our work together in 2024.
