Every piece of writing is a story.

An email.  
A sales page. 
A blog post. 
A pitch proposal. 
An actual script. 
STORY.
In each story, you take your reader on a journey starting from What’s this? to (hopefully) More, please!
With a background in acting, having been trained at The National Theatre School of Canada, and having worked across the country and internationally on various projects from Shakespeare to Indie films: I know Story. And I am in love with the process of creating them even when it is hard.

Maybe you can relate?

It always starts with a great idea. It comes to you so fully formed you’d swear it wasn’t your own — you must’ve seen it somewhere else. On your feed, in a magazine, something you overheard on the street — in an Uber? 
But no! By the grace of the Universe, this fresh, sweet, beautiful idea is YOURS. And in its infancy, it is perfect. 
And as the folk singer Louden Wainwright penned so aptly, Nothing bad has happened yet. 

But then comes… everything else.

Work 
Life 
Stress
Can’t Focus
Competing Projects
And very quickly, you’ve got pages of bullet points that never turn into complete sentences!
And you feel anxious and behind.

So this is where I can help.

I have worked with entrepreneurs and screenwriters, just like you, tackling these writing tasks solo and wanting help.

You want someone who…

  • Works to understand the messaging nuances and tone of your business or script. 
  • Delivers work on time, complete, and of excellent calibre. 
  • Goes the extra mile to make sure you are happy with the written work you receive. 
  • Keeps your business or project’s long-term objective in mind when creating content.
Well, I can do that for you.

I’d love to hear about you and your work!
I’ve worked with Shannon on many different kinds of projects in many different genres. Shannon is extremely agile in her ability to adapt and adopt to the needed style and voice of the writing. She knows writing. She knows character. She knows how to punch up a line or a joke or a moment or a statement. She’s VERY skilled and she’s 1000% invested.

Shannon was very easy to work with! She provided clarity and expertise. She gave room for open discussions around the work. She offered clear time frames of when she would get back to me and her turnaround time was often very quick, never missing a deadline. I appreciated her patience and never felt rushed. I always felt important to her.
