Writing that engages and converts
As a professional freelancer for 25+ years, writing isn’t my new side hustle or fallback plan.
I’m not biding time until a staff job comes along.
Writing for a variety of clients is my real job — and my only job.

What clients and teammates say about me
Roxanne is brilliant at her craft and understands the relationship between copy and design well…
Exceptionally organized and responsive, you can completely rely on Roxanne. Her passion for quality work is evident in her care and thoughtful approach. She is an outstanding professional in every respect and I thoroughly enjoy working with her.
Sarah Reimer
Freelance Graphic Design & Marketing Pro
I worked with Roxanne while I was the Editorial Director at the American Animal Hospital Association leading its publishing operations, which included a $1M+ book imprint, a monthly member magazine, custom content publications, and a daily news site.
Roxanne was a frequent contributor to many of our publications. Roxanne was pretty much always the top choice for not only me but also my entire team when commissioning work because she is such a strong, versatile writer who meets deadlines every time.
She is also very easy to work with—she doesn’t need much hand holding because she is knowledgeable enough to create a cohesive narrative among a jumble of complex source material and savvy enough to distinguish between facts and spin. Without fail, she could always be counted on to provide engaging copy, whether it was 600-word piece for the news site, a feature story for the magazine, or an entire 24-page custom content booklet complete with sidebars and infographics.
She has also done a bit of developmental editing for the association’s books, providing invaluable insight and alerting us to areas requiring increased scrutiny.
Roxanne is a terrific writer and editor—I highly recommend her and eagerly look forward to working with her again.

Just as important, she is a tremendous collaborator and team player; accepting of feedback, responsive to change, and focused on the overall success of the project. She’s truly been a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend her for long- or short-form copywriting.

Roxanne is an incredibly disciplined, savvy writer, who has the ability to grasp unfamiliar concepts in the blink of an eye and translate them into clear, readable prose. I admire her ability to write so efficiently and so well.

Fun fact
I’ve fostered nearly 50 puppies and dogs since 2019.
Most arrive simply too young to be adopted yet.
Others come with medical issues or broken in some way.
Some end up here due to abuse, including extreme starvation.
I make time to help because I can.
