What I offer

Writing help, one careful pair of hands

Pick a single job or bundle a few together. Every job starts with a short brief so we agree on scope and price before any work begins — no open-ended billing.

Writing & Editing

For job seekers, students, nonprofits, and small businesses that need words that work.

  • Resume & cover letter from $300

    A resume rewritten for the job you actually want — achievement-focused, ATS-friendly, and tailored, not templated — plus a cover letter that connects your experience to the posting, in your own voice.

  • LinkedIn profiles from $75

    A headline and About section that say what you do and where you're headed, written to be found by the right people.

  • Blog posts & articles from $100

    Well-researched posts in your voice — especially strong on parenting, family life, education, wellness, and community topics. Price covers posts up to 1,000 words; longer posts are quoted separately.

  • Website copy for small businesses from $200 / page

    Homepage, About, and Services pages that sound human and make it easy to contact you. Ideal if your current site is outdated or was written in a rush.

  • Essay editing & proofreading from $100

    I polish your essay — grammar, clarity, flow, and structure — so your own work reads its best. I don't write essays for you; the words and ideas stay yours.

  • Grant writing for nonprofits quoted per project

    Clear, funder-ready proposals for small charities and community groups. I handle the narrative, budget wording, and deadlines list.

Prices above are starting points. Every job is confirmed in writing before work starts, based on length, complexity, and turnaround — so you know the total before you commit. Tell me your budget in the enquiry form and I’ll scope the job to fit where I can.

How it works

Simple, per-job, no surprises

You don't need a Facebook account, an Upwork account, or a contract to get started. Email is enough.

1

Tell me the job

Use the quote form below or email me. Two or three sentences is plenty to start.

2

Get a fixed quote

I'll reply with scope, price, and delivery date — in writing, before any work begins.

3

I do the work

One draft, one round of revisions included on writing jobs. I'll check in if anything is unclear.

4

You pay per job

Payment by e-transfer — timing agreed in your quote before work starts.

🎓

A niche other freelancers don't have

Psychology training means I'm especially good at education, family, wellness, and nonprofit writing — and at handling sensitive documents discreetly.

🔒

Private by default

Your documents stay between us. I don't keep copies after delivery unless you ask me to, and I never share client work as samples without permission.

Popular packages

Questions

Before you ask

No. This website is the direct route — just use the quote form or email me. No social account, no marketplace account, and no platform commission added to your price.
The two boxes labelled “Advertisement” are Google AdSense slots. Right now they show as placeholders. Once an AdSense account is approved and its Publisher ID is pasted into the page code (the spot is marked with comments in the HTML), Google fills them with real ads automatically and pays per view/click into that AdSense account. Ads are a small side income for the site — they never change what I charge clients.
Interac e-transfer is easiest. Payment timing is agreed in writing in your quote, and you'll always know the total before work begins.
I edit, proofread, and give structural feedback — I don't write academic work to be submitted as your own. That line protects you (academic integrity) and keeps the service honest. For resumes, business copy, and grants, I write from scratch with you.
Turnaround depends on the job and my current bookings, and is agreed in your quote. Tell me your deadline in the form — if I can't meet it, I'll say so in the quote rather than promise and miss it.
I'm based in Whitby and work remotely for most clients across Durham Region and Canada. For larger local projects, a brief video call to kick off works well — no in-person meeting needed for most writing jobs.
