I deliver value
A good writer who “gets it”–who you fundamentally are as a company and what you want to accomplish, who delivers on or before deadline, and who works with you to produce marketing communications that get results–is hard to find. I deliver all that…and you don’t even have to pay me benefits.
Here’s my secret formula for success.

About Gretchen
While experimenting my way through organic chemistry and physics in college, I never dreamed that a few years later I’d begin a career writing for national magazines, websites, businesses, and professional organizations. Slated to enter medical school, my life took a different turn late into my senior year of college. I must have been writing too many papers for my English courses, because I decided to become a writer instead of a doctor.
Of course, I always thought as an M.D. I’d be penning pieces for the New England Journal of Medicine, so life hasn’t dealt me a completely different set of cards.
Now I happily spend my working hours dreaming up marketing strategies and writing for companies and consumer publications instead of prescribing antibiotic for the fifteenth ear infection of the day. A lot of people say they can’t believe I get to do this for a living. Sometimes I can’t believe it either.
When I’m not working, I’m usually getting snacks for my three children (vintages 2003, 2006, and 2010), sampling my husband’s homemade beers, doing volunteer marketing for my kids’ school, or whipping up delicious dinners in the kitchen of our 1900 Craftsman-style home in beautiful eastern Tennessee.
My creative space
Pretty, isn’t it? I live and work in beautiful eastern Tennessee…but don’t let that affect our relationship. I work with clients around the country via phone, email, Google Docs, and other wonderful tools of technology.
A recent article in the New York Times says recent studies suggest that influential academic work is increasingly conducted by teams rather than individuals…but that the teams who collaborate remotely appear to be the most influential of all.
Why? Because the combination of solitude and idea exchanging is a catalyst to creativity and innovation.
We can meet in person, too—I love to travel and host clients here.
Testimonials
I give each client my very best, and it shows in my work and in our relationship.
