Word Work by Colleen
Writing Portfolio
As a writer, it's extremely important to me that I use the right words in the right way:
Words that inform and explain.
Words that build connections.
Words that amuse and entertain.
Words that attract attention.
Words that sell.
Every set of words is carefully crafted to fulfill its own unique mission.
To get a better sense of my work, please explore my writing portfolio.
Hello there! I'm Colleen.
Former teacher. Proud Midwesterner. Dog lover.
Portfolio of Work
The following is a collection of various writing projects. Each piece is unique in style and content, and each represents a distinct moment in my career.
This is a piece I was asked to write for a blog geared towards teachers leaving or considering leaving the field of education. At the time I wrote this, that's exactly what I was going through personally, so the project was a great fit.
I wrote this for an Online Business Manager who helps 6 and 7-figure entrepreneurs to reach their goals. She even ended up basing a podcast episode on it.

I reached out to Colleen after seeing an offer she had for writing blog posts. I needed a few blog posts for an upcoming event and she was more than willing to help. I gave her little direction about what was needed and she put together a great blog post. She was faster than I imagined and included what I asked for. I would definitely recommend Colleen for any blog posts or copy you may need. I can’t wait to work with Colleen again in the near future!

Colleen is a great writer with a fantastic voice and a strong sense of audience. She took the task that I asked her to complete, and she owned it. She dedicated the necessary time and effort to make edits, take feedback, and develop something I am really proud to post on my blog. I strongly recommend her services!
Teacher VA, LLC
I highly recommend Colleen for any research or organization of information! She took on my research project with very little direction and delivered high-quality, categorized information with clear and detailed notes. Her work was thorough, ahead of schedule, and she saved me invaluable time. Colleen has been a pleasure to work with because of her professionalism, enthusiasm, and reliability!
