I have the BEST clients.

Not only do they own businesses and create projects I’m proud to be a part of, but they’re also top-notch, super-nice, quality individuals.

One of my clients described our work relationship like this: “Like attracts like.”

I agree.

With that said, here’s a selection of my amazing clients, returning the kind words…

- Melinda

    Melinda is a blast to work with. She has a passion for delivering for her clients and goes above and beyond. I appreciate how she looks at broader strategy and how her work impacts the end goals for the business. I've worked with many copywriters in the past but few have left such a positive impression. Thanks Melinda - looking forward to working together in the future!

    Tuvy | V-Flat World

    I work with lots of people and teams in order to run my business, Melinda is such a breath of fresh air, she is positive, thoughtful and extremely creative. I love her sense of humor and I almost never have any notes to give her on her writings. She hits it out of the ballpark almost always on the first try!

  • Wes, Owner of Sereniseed, an organic seed company. ~ E-commerce copywriter Melinda Holland. Christian copywriter.

    Wes | Sereniseed

    Melinda is proactive and easy to work with. When I have a wide list of things on my plate, those traits become really valuable. I admire how she finds ways to connect with the readers while delivering the content. And I appreciate that she asks for feedback to learn how she can better mesh with the brand. Two thumbs up!

    Melinda has been an absolute pleasure to work with! She is incredibly reliable, easy-going, friendly, and deadline conscious (which is very hard to find). Melinda has been on target with brand tone and messaging on every project we've sent her way. We're so happy that we found her and you will be too!

    Lucie & Lisa | Cheese Not Cheese

    From the first email with Melinda we knew she was the one for our unscripted request. We had a loose framework for a book project. Our needs were simple and specific. We needed a writer who was creative, willing and detail oriented who could go with the flow. Melinda not only fit what we needed, she happily played along by being a willing participant in the food research.

    Melinda has incredible attention to detail and even kept us on track. She organized a lot of new information and research in a way that was easy to navigate. The ball was rolling fast and she stayed ahead of it bringing a writer's eye to every aspect.

    Melinda is fun, professional and creative. We are continuing to work with her for our blogs. We love working with her so much we keep thinking of things for her to do.

  • Michael | Face The Outdoors

    Melinda and I have collaborated on a few projects for my aurora tour business and I must say we clicked right away. Our personalities mesh well together. I like to keep the humor and upbeat vibe going from the web to when I meet a customer in person. I've struggled with how to convey that online, but Melinda has a way of putting that vibe into words. She conveys what I want to say in a way that also helps with SEO, which in turn helps with exposure! I'm much better at being a salesman in person than by keyboard and Melinda knows that language well! She’s great to work with and easy-going, and has no problem pointing out what you might think is a good idea but might not be good from a web standpoint. She keeps it real, lively and professional, and on time!

    I look forward to working on more projects with Melinda as our business grows. And honestly, I don't see myself pulling it off without the insight and knowledge that she has to offer. Looking forward to growing my business into something amazing to share with everyone with Melinda in my corner! If you find yourself in a rut or not sure where or how to walk the digital era of marketing and putting words to motion then look no further, Melinda has you covered!

    Melinda does INCREDIBLE work! In almost every meeting I have someone mentions how great our website is and that is all because of Melinda. She takes the time to get to know the brand, hear the stories and puts heart and effort into relating the brand into her work. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Here are just a few of the many projects I’ve worked on. What about you? Want to be next?

    P.S. Poke around their site & see if you can find this tagline on their V-Flat section: “The Swiss Army Knife of Light Modifiers” Yeah, that was me. I crafted that line years ago & it still thrills me to see them use it, sometimes even on their home page throughout the year. The line works well because it’s succinct, readily understood, and accurately describes the product. #winning

One of my favorite quotes by Thomas Carlyle

“Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you'll be able to see further.”

This quote is about action. Sometimes we get stuck and don’t know what to do or which way to go. Just take a step—in any direction. Then go as far as you can see. Go until you can’t go anymore. I promise you, you’ll find answers. Sometimes, you’ll find the need to turn around and try a different route. Other times you’ll see that the path wasn’t so bad after all and you’ll gain insight on where to go next. And still other times, you’ll find you’re on the best path and you’ll wonder why you didn’t start earlier. Go as far as you can see, when you get there, you’ll see farther. ;)

What do you see? An aerial shot of the ocean? I see the lacy, scalloped edge of a skirt. If you’re stuck in a rut, take a step back, walk around and look for new angles of discovery. Keep at it. You’ll get there. I believe in you. -Melinda
