I'm in search of someone who knows how to write, has good business/marketing instincts, and gets my queer/grassroots angle for a short-term "coaching" type arrangement for help hone content for my consulting website. I've put out feelers to my colleagues without great response so I'm trying CL!
So, here's the deal: I am a strategy consultant for grassroots non-profits, creatives, and conscious businesses with expertise in donor driven fundraising and integrated marketing. I have someone designing the site and my collateral, so that is all square. I'm writing the content but am getting lost in perfectionist tendencies and have produced a number of drafts...at this point, my vision is blurred (so to speak) and I don't know which way is up or how everything will translate to a reader unfamiliar with what I do.
My priority is to find someone who can act as a sounding board, give feedback on content, organization, and flow, make sure I'm being clear, not redundant, etc. I don't want someone to write it for me, just bounce ideas off of and help me refine what I have. (And to cut through it!) I have worked with someone a little who has given me editorial feedback, but I'd like to get into all of it with someone who really gets my approach and the communities I'm looking to cultivate/understands what will resonate. If you have web writing experience that's a major plus!
I'm on a budget but can do trade, part trade/part cash, or work something fair out! The $200-250 range is what's realistic for me right now (thought we may be able to work out a payment plan arrangement etc. if it requires more)
So, there you have it! My mission etc. is below for reference. You don't have to be certified or a FT "coach" but please have applicable references that can attest to your skills and no-flake tendencies.
