Work With Me

How we can
work together.

I take on individual projects and ongoing editorial work. We agree on the scope and fee before the writing starts.

01

Embedded Content Retainer

From $3,500 / month

I work with your team on ongoing writing and editorial strategy. My automotive and B2B background means we can spend the brief on your business and what the reader needs to understand.

A fit for OEM marketing teams and agencies, or companies that need an experienced writer taking responsibility for the work. You work directly with me.

  • Weekly or bi-weekly content output
  • Editorial strategy and brief development
  • Content system design and governance
  • Direct access — no account manager in between
  • Monthly retainer, 90-day minimum
02

Content Audit Sprint

$3,000–$5,000

I review your content and its performance, then give you a written plan for what needs fixing first. That includes the argument you're making and the questions your buyers still need answered.

Useful when you've published plenty and still can't point a prospect to a page that explains why they should choose you.

  • Full content inventory and performance review
  • Positioning and messaging analysis
  • Competitive gap assessment
  • Written roadmap with prioritized recommendations
  • Two-week turnaround from kickoff
03

Automotive Content

From $1 / word

I cover OEM strategy, EV adoption, dealership operations and fleet procurement. My work includes trade reporting for CBT News and School Bus Fleet, along with commercial-vehicle content for BusesForSale.com.

Read a few pieces. You'll know whether I'm the writer you want explaining your product.

  • Brand content and long-form editorial
  • Trade and industry bylines
  • Dealership and OEM content programs
  • Fleet and commercial vehicle content
  • $1,500 minimum engagement
04

Ghostwriting & Editorial

$1,500 minimum

You have something to say and limited time to get it written. I help work out the argument and write it in your voice, whether it's an executive byline or a longer piece.

I've spent a career writing in other people's voices. The job starts with understanding what you mean well enough to put your name on it.

  • Executive thought leadership and bylines
  • LinkedIn long-form articles
  • Brand voice development and style guides
  • Conference presentations and keynote scripts
  • Priced per project
Who This Is For

The clients I work best with.

Good fit
  • OEM brand content teams and the agencies that hold their accounts
  • B2B companies in transportation, fleet, and logistics
  • Marketing leads who need a senior person, not a managed writer
  • Founders who know their message is fuzzy and want it fixed
Not a fit
  • Content at scale for SEO volume without strategy
  • Projects under $1,500
  • Brands that want more words, not better ones
  • Tight timelines with no brief and no decision-maker available
