editor, writer, book coach, writing coach

I'm a writer, editor, and content strategist based in Richmond, Virginia. Whether you're an indie author or a business looking to launch a  website, brand book, or social media feed, I'll help you get your word on.

 

If you're in business, I'll ignite a digital dialogue with your audience. I brainstorm content, capture your voice and vibe, and write to engage and inform your customers. I've worked with advertising agencies, surgeons, architects, interior designers, lawn care services, artists, real estate agents, and schools.

 

If you're a writer, I can guide you through the book development process, trace your narrative arc, and refine your book proposal. And for help finding your voice, let's schedule some one-on-one sessions.

 

Finally, for the tongue-tied, check out my Everyday Words services. I edit college admissions essays, write family history books, craft business bios and wedding toasts. When real life calls for real words, I'll help you put your heart on the page.    

 

Let's talk. I'm happy to brainstorm about your upcoming project, so drop me an email and tell me all about it. 

 

Thanks for visiting!

Testimonials

Having been an editor herself, Constance understands the editorial process in a way that many professional writers don’t. She’s so easy to work with because she totally gets what’s needed.

Louise SloanSenior Editor, Ladies’ Home Journal

Thank you for a stellar job. It was wonderful to assign a package and then not worry about it, knowing it will come in well written and well reported.

Rosemary EllisEditor in Chief, Good Housekeeping

Constance is a gifted editor. Acting as part cheerleader, therapist and coach, her perceptive and sensitive approach has helped me find my voice.

About Constance

I got my start at Vogue, writing promotional letters to fashion buyers. By 23, I was editing New Body (a small fitness magazine with an unfortunate name) before joining Self magazine as a staff writer.

 

My articles have appeared in Redbook, Parents, Working Woman, Ladies’ Home Journal, Health, Southern Home, Fitness, Harpers’ Bazaar and more.

 

When Media General launched skirt! magazine, we built an audience so diverse and passionate that the editor of the Richmond newspaper summoned me to his office to ask: How do you do it?

 

I've written websites, edited books, and dreamed up custom social media content. People say I should specialize--but that's a little like choosing your favorite child:

 

I love them all.
