Semi-retired copywriter. Marine Corps veteran. 40 years of business behind me. I use AI tools for first drafts, then I edit every word by hand to match your voice. Intro call if you want one. Everything else by email.

I spent forty years running businesses. Before that, the Marine Corps. Now I write emails for other small business owners — because after all that, writing is the one thing I can still do async from Central Vermont, and do better than most.
I'm not going to promise you a 3x conversion lift or some other made-up metric. I'll write emails that sound like you (not like generic AI), get read, and move product. If you've been burned by an "AI email service" that produced flavorless copy your list ignored — that's the exact problem I solve.
Here's how I actually work: I use AI tools to accelerate first drafts. Then I edit every word by hand — reading each email out loud, cutting what sounds artificial, adding the specifics only your business has. You get the speed advantage of AI with the voice and judgment that only a human reading your emails can produce.
Monthly retainers for consistent output. À la carte for specific sequences. Email-first — intro call optional, no recurring meetings.
Founding rate applies to your first 3 months. After that, pricing transitions to standard rates shown above (with option to continue or part ways — no long-term commitment).
If you want a 15-minute intro call before signing, just ask. I offer it to anyone who wants it — it's a chance for both of us to make sure we're a fit.
After that, everything happens through email. You send requests when convenient, I reply within 24 hours. Revisions and questions in writing. No weekly meetings, no Zoom check-ins, no calendar coordination for ongoing work. You save your day for actual work, I save mine for actual writing. Everything is documented, nothing gets forgotten.

Either a proposal or an honest "not a match."
You review, mark it up, send back.
Rhythm builds over the first month.
