Hi there, I’m Courtney.

I am a

writer

marketing specialist

illustrator

storyteller

based in Chicago, Illinois.

At 14 months old, I said my first sentence:

“Daddy vroom vroom mess all gone!”

This is to say – I’ve been telling stories since before I could walk.

What I do

You could say marrying creativity and strategic thinking is my bread and butter.

I am an experienced social media & content specialist with a proven track record in managing and growing vibrant online communities for mission-driven organizations and individuals. With over a decade of creative writing studies in my back pocket, I bring a unique storytelling approach to content marketing, helping craft compelling narratives that resonate with audiences and drive measurable results.

When purpose-driven entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and changemakers want to share their wisdom with the world, they come to me for help writing their stories. Through ghostwriting (also known as collaborative writing) and book coaching, I leverage my writing expertise to bring their vision to life in the form of page-turning reads, empowering my clients to amplify the positive mark they leave on the world.

LET'S COLLAB

Courtney is a natural writer with a high-level understanding of consumer motivations behind brand loyalty. Her unique perspective will be a tremendous asset to any team looking to advance, shift or grow their impact.

Brea Keating, Senior Director of eCommerce at Monster Energy
The creative brief and assets you put together for the ambassador program are incredible. We didn't ask this of you—you just saw what needed to be done, and you went above and beyond to make it happen. That shows real dedication to your work. These are going to be instrumental when pitching investors as we work to open a second location. Well done!

Bob Garber, Founder & CEO of Lume Wellness
Nobody has been able to crack my voice until I met you. Our weekly newsletter is getting more engagement than in the last 2-3 years combined. People FEEL the difference. Thank you.

Amber Vilhauer, Founder & CEO of NGNG Enterprises
Courtney showed an incredible ability to translate my brand and offer into words and visuals. Even when—or should I say, especially when—I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say about myself and services, she was able to hone in on what was most important and then present it in a way that felt so very “me.”

Trish Cook, Award-Winning Ghostwriter & Founder of Spirit Write
Courtney brings a fresh voice to communications while upholding brand standards. Her copywriting skills and compassion are the perfect pairing.

Kim Byrne, Customer Happiness Team Lead at Summersalt
My mentorship with Courtney launched my career as a creative writer.

Kelsey Swintek, published essayist & former City Books Writer in Residence
The revisions you made to my website copy are awesome. They improve the text without changing the meaning or feeling of it.

Jacky Fischer, CEO of 3 Men Movers
Loving the website copy so far. In fact, I'm already playing with some of it now for the back cover of the book! Nice job, Courtney!

Joshua Berry, Co-founder & Managing Director of Econic
Courtney's book coaching is a joy. She is quick to praise what is working well and offers the kindest, most positive suggestions when things can be improved And our work together is paying off: I received a letter of intent from a publisher recently—the direct result of what I have learned from Courtney.
