You’re here because you run an LGBTQ or ally brand in one of the following industries:

You’re looking for an experienced LGBTQ copywriter to transform your great ideas into real-life projects. Someone who’s part of the community and can create content that motivates them to take action.
That’s where I come in.
Hi! I’m Audrey, an LGBTQ copywriter and a card-carrying queer.
Nothing makes me want to do jazz hands more than helping LGBTQ people connect with businesses devoted to meeting their unique needs.
Because here’s the thing... When you're part of the LGBTQ comunity, you might have to spend hours researching online before making a purchase.
That's because LGBTQ people are looking for companies that are authentic and engaged year-round, not just during Pride. Companies that seek them out, rather than simply tolerating them. And companies that support pro-LGBTQ policies, rather than pretending we’re all equal.
I’m here to help you show LGBTQ customers you’re the real deal.

- Copywriting that makes your brand accessible + easy to understand
- Search Engine Optimization that makes it easy for LGBTQ customers find you online
- Content strategy to help you build an authentic community + grow your business
- Photography that’s royalty-free + complements your message
- Ideas for new content based on your target audience
- Formatting so you can still reach people who skim
- Editing so everything’s error free + ready to publish
Ready for your online coming out?

HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1: BOOK YOUR DISCOVERY CALL
Shoot me an email and we’ll schedule a 15 to 30 minute call. During the call, we’ll chat about your copywriting needs and decide if we’re a good fit for each other. I’ll send you a proposal after the call with my recommendations.
STEP 2: SIGN YOUR CONTRACT + PAY YOUR INVOICE
If you decide to move forward, great! We’ll decide on a small test project to start (I usually recommend a blog post). You sign your contract and pay 50% of your invoice.
STEP 3: I WORK ON YOUR PROJECT
I deliver most projects one week from the day you sign your contract and pay your invoice. If it’s a bigger project like a website or a bundle of blogs, I’ll put together a posting schedule and deliver your project piece by piece.
STEP 4: PAY THE REMAINDER OF YOUR INVOICE
Once I put the finishing touches on your project, I’ll email it to you in a Google Doc. You’ll also receive an invoice for the remaining 50% of your balance. If you’re not 100% satisfied with your project, you get a round of revisions for FREE.
STEP 5: DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO BOOK MORE WORK
That’s it! After the test project is complete, we’ll touch base about the process, work out any issues, and decide if we want to keep working together.
About
Hi, I’m Audrey, an LGBTQ copywriter, travel enthusiast + occasional shopaholic.
I came out as bisexual at 23 and started dating my first girlfriend soon after.
On one hand, I was proud of the huge leap I’d made. On the other hand, I realized I’d traded one problem for another.
You see, my girlfriend and I loved traveling. We explored dozens of new cities together. We had fun, but every time we got to a new place, we felt the same nagging questions come up.
Should we come out to our Airbnb host this time, or pretend to be friends again?
Can we cozy up in this cafe?
Is it safe to hold hands here?
It was exhausting.
We spent more time and energy trying to figure out where we’d be welcomed than we did enjoying our new surroundings.
It’s hard to believe, but LGBTQ people face these challenges every.single.day.
And you know what? That’s B.S.
Finding welcoming, LGBTQ-friendly businesses shouldn’t take hours or be based on guesswork.
That’s why I’m committed to helping LGBTQ and ally businesses stand out from the crowd.
LGBTQ people want to spend money at businesses that provide products and services that meet their needs. And they want to support companies that empower their community, rather than just paying lip service to inclusion.
But they need to be able to find you first.
That starts with content that speaks to the LGBTQ community and motivates them to take action. And that starts with you.
Wondering what makes me different from other copywriters?
I specialize in the LGBTQ market and provide meaningful insights you can’t won’t get from a generalist.
I give your web content, blogs and social media a voice that speaks to LGBTQ consumers while still honoring your brand’s style.
I’m part of the LGBTQ community and want businesses who are supporting us to succeed.
Does that sound like you? Then I want to hear from you. Shoot me an email and let’s talk about your marketing strategy.
DURING YOUR CALL WE’LL DISCUSS:
- Your goals: What do you hope to get from working with a copywriter? Maybe it’s higher engagement, increased sales, or more free time.
- Your website & web content: We’ll talk about the message you’re sending to LGBTQ readers
- Your SEO: Your current Google ranking
- Content ideas: I’ll pitch some blog and email sequence ideas
- Time saving: Tell me your marketing goals. I’ll help you reach them without adding more to your busy schedule.
