Copy That Sounds Like You
& Speaks Directly To Your Audience

By combining voice of customer data with brand messaging and best practices for selling,
I write copy that feels like the best version of you. And gets you the yesses you need to grow.

 

SALES STRATEGY, BRAND MESSAGING & CONVERSION COPY

for Evidence-Based Experts & Educators Doing Good Things Online

I’m on a mission to use words, research, and strategy to amplify the voices of evidence-based, ethical, and equity-focused experts and educators online. I want to help you achieve the results you need to keep growing!

I see a world where people with unique and important messages are seen, listened to, and taken seriously online. So they can do the work they’re proud of, live a life they love, and make the money they deserve.

 
 

MEET YOUR COPYWRITER

Hey there, I’m Kira

I’m an audience-obsessed copywriter with over 5 years of experience working with business owners in health, parenting, and peds.

My process is simple, but it works every time. I start by developing a deep understanding of you, your brand, and your audience. I use what I know to help you craft the nail-on-the-head messaging and website copy you need. Then, I set you up to take your writing in-house, with templates, training, and as much ongoing support as you need.

The end result? Words that feel like the very best version of you and speak directly to the people you most want to reach. (Without costing you thousands every time you need a new web page!)

 

I’m All For…

I love amplifying the voices of:

  • Inclusion-Focused Advocates

  • Evidence-Based Experts

  • Health & Pediatric Professionals

  • Therapists Of All Kinds

  • Parents Crushing Online Business

  • Transgender folks, People of Color, Indigenous Peoples, and all other minorities doing good things

I’m Not Into…

I won’t use my sales skills to promote:

  • Hate of any kind ✌🏻

  • Fake News or Misinformation

  • Grifts, Snake Oils or MLMs

  • Sketchy Diets or Weight Loss Programs

  • β€œScare Care” & Fear-Based Information

  • Overinflated Claims

  • Other Icky Things Not Listed Above πŸ₯°

 
 
 

Long-Term Copy Partnerships Are My Jam

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how nerve-wracking it is to put your words in someone else’s hands. Or how, when you find someone you can trust, you hold on tight. Right?

Well, that β€œhold on tight” feeling is what I have with my clients!

I go into all my projects with a long-term mentality. I invest time learning about you, your goals, and your audience. I understandβ€”and even help shapeβ€”your strategy. And, I master your brand voice.

From there, we can use our same-page-ness to easily and strategically tackle all the copy projects.

 

This is what it’s like to work with me:

 

know that feeling you get when you sit down to write and have no clue what to say? I Don’t! πŸ˜‰

My signature process takes the guessworkβ€”and 100% of the struggleβ€”out of your copy.

 

The Process Is Simple.
But It Works Every Time.

 

01

GET TO KNOW YOU & YOUR BIZ

I begin by learning everything about you and your audience, because to write copy that converts and compels, we first have to write copy that resonates!

 

03

NAIL DOWN STRATEGY & VOICE

Before writing, I share my recommendations for messaging, strategy, and voice (plus copy samples and page outlines), and you get to sign off.

02

DO ALL THE RESEARCH

Conversion copy is research-based. I audit analytics, creep competitors, read reviews, and even set up Zoom interviews with your audience.

 

04

WRITE, EDIT & FINALIZE

Time to put my head down to write and finesse your copy! Projects include two rounds of feedback and review so we can hone, refine, and perfect.

  • "I didn't think I'd ever be proud of my website copy."

    The words Kira wrote for my website are not only a perfect reflection of my business, brand, and personality, but because I was so involved in the process, I know how much strategy went into it. Under all of this fun copy is lots of nerdy, strategy stuff, which makes me SO happy!

  • "Kira's process from beginning to end was immaculate. ."

    Kira's process from beginning to end was immaculate. It allowed me to entrust her, and it allowed her to clearly understand the thoughts and feelings around our business. She took a genuine interest in both myself and my business and used a strategic process to put it all down on paper in a way that was clear for our families.

    β€”Rebecca Drory, Bespoke Speech

  • "I found my voice."

    Before, I slipped into β€œInstagram stories me,” β€œReels me,” β€œemail me,” β€œwebsite me,” and β€œwith my besties” me. It’s unnerving when people follow you from every sphere. Like being at a baby shower, wondering how to be when the gang’s all there. Kira helped cheer me on to be unapologetically, boldly me. Taking off the professional mask and showing up as the β€œreal” Lindsey everywhere.

    β€”Lindsey Myers, Created Colorful

  • β€œI have more clarity on my sales page, but also in my mind!”

    Seriously THANK YOU! Not only do I feel like I have more clarity on my sales page, but also in my mind! You definitely relit a spark to keep going when sometimes building a business is HARD. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and supporting my business.

    β€”Kelsey Kerkhove, Pediatric Audiologist

  • "My first impression of my new copy was...goosebumps!”

    It was exactly what I wanted people to feel but couldn't put the words together to get the message across on my own.

    β€”Dr. Ally Power

  • β€œIf you're on the fence..take the leap. I promise it’s worth it!”

    Kira always made sure I was supported and made sure I got the most out of the process. I am SO thankful I took this leap!

    β€”Alyssa Bietz, Your Sleep Story

  • "I cannot sing Kira's praises enough!"

    WOW! The efficiency and skill that Kira embodies in copy editing is just remarkable. I now feel like the ideas and message I had in my head is being displayed beautifully thanks to Kira's amazing work. I will be back for sure!
