Your organization is on a mission. My stories are, too.

I became a writer for a simple reason: I believed in the power of storytelling to make the world a better place. While you may use different tools, I’m willing to bet your organization exists to do the same thing.

But doing world-changing work is one thing. Telling the world about it is another. Whether you’re leading a membership association, a university magazine or a brand website, you need powerful stories that get your audience on board, and ideally move them to action.

There’s no need to settle for dry content that lacks a narrative pull. Imagine the alternative: Content writing that packages essential information within compelling stories, and advances your organization’s mission.

This is where I come in. (Hi! 👋 It’s great to meet you). I’m a storyteller and writer who crafts stories that convey your mission, values, and impact. Think profiles that go beyond the resume regurgitation (yawn!), or features that hook a reader and never let them go.

✍️ You can hire me to…

  • Write profiles and feature stories for your membership association or alumni magazine.

  • Create engaging online content for your company blog.

  • Tell stories about that highlight your institution’s great work and impressive members.

✨ ‘One of my go-to profile writers’

“I’m always looking for strong profile writers who can tell a member’s story in a compelling narrative journalism style—not just a chronology of their schooling and career. … Mike more than met those expectations right out of the gate. He has become one of my go-to profile writers.

When I give Mike an assignment, I know I don’t have to worry about the outcome. It will be beautifully written, pulling out some compelling stories from the source, and also address the nuances for our particular membership audience. In addition, he’s easy to work with, personable, requires little editing and always meets his deadlines.” — Melanie Padgett Powers, Freelance editor for membership associations
