Rent My Brain

*Note: I am not taking new consulting clients right now.

I used to be an editor, so I have a lot of collaborative energy and editorial expertise to share.

As an editorial consultant, I can help you hone the vision for your newsletter, website, or podcast—and come up with a process and structure so that you’ll actually see that vision through. If you’re looking for support with freelance projects, I can help refine the pitches you’ve had trouble placing, give you feedback that editors don’t have time for, and brainstorm fresh outlets you might want to approach. I’m not a marketer, and I will not gain you thousands of followers overnight. I’m more interested in the Diana Vreeland approach: “Give the people what they never knew they wanted.” In other words, I’m focused on the substance of what you’re creating.

Here are some of the people I’ve worked with in the past:

• A newsletter founder figuring out a monetization strategy

• A journalist with too many side projects and a desire to streamline

• A small trade publication seeking feedback on how to level up editorially

• A freelance writer in need of guidance on how to start a big project

• A social-media startup targeting podcasters

• A first-time author looking for help pitching articles related to her book topic

If this sounds like you, send me an email to discuss my rates and get on my calendar. ann@ladyswagger.com
