Why do you need a Freelance Writer?

You might be perfectly happy with writing your own content, marketing and public relations materials. Why should you pay someone else to do this?

Ah, the ultimate question that elicits a smile from a Freelance Writer.

Simply, because we can make your words work for you.
"But how?" You now ask.

1. We develop prose to target the wide, consumer base you are hoping will fall in love with your product. You know that what you have is good, that everyone should know about it. We know how to reach those people.

2. We know that most people don't read. A good freelance writer also knows how to catch these people and draw them in to take in more information. Through the use of effective copywriting techniques and persuasive prose, consumers will be more inclined to learn about you and what you have to offer.

3. We geek-out about researching. Mostly, we like to read and will do everything we can to learn about the market you need to target. You might know more about your product, but we know how to take your product and get others to see it. Plus, a fresh perspective can do wonders.

4. We have done this before. You might have content that has worked in the past. However, today's economy changes trends and patterns all the time. Consumers think globally. Your business needs to change and develop with these waves, and we know how to predict them. SEO Optimization is more important than ever before. Without the best writing, your business just can not grow.

5. We want you and your business to look good. Improve your image for clients and industry peers by representing your business with crisp, intelligent and effective words. Words describe and represent your business, make them create the right image.


Freelance writers are an integral piece of the marketing puzzle. Get the word out and hire a Freelance writer to choose which words can do that best.

Press Release, Wet Planet Whitewater Center

US ARMY FINDS WHITEWATER RAFTING TO HELP SOLDIERS
Ft. Lewis Uses White Salmon River As A Part of New Psychological Resilience Training Program

Husum, Washington. Oct. 8, 2010. Ft. Lewis takes soldiers whitewater rafting for the High Adventure Activity in the premier psychological resilience building program, Battlemind.

Serving our nation overseas allows members of the US Army to develop skills and have experiences unlike those of the civilian community. However, returning home from the intensity of combat has been found to be an abrupt and stressful transition for these soldiers. Seeking ways to mitigate this additional stress, the US Army has decided to send their troops whitewater rafting on the White Salmon River in the Columbia River Gorge.

Finding that troops were facing new forms of stress after serving their nation abroad the US Army initiated the Battlemind program. Pilot studies began three years ago using the White Salmon River as one of three test sites in the world. While aiming to provide an alternative outlet for the increased adrenaline levels experienced in combat, the program also fosters group communication, trust and unit cohesion. To Todd and Jaco at Wet Planet Whitewater in Husum, Washington this sounds a whole lot like a whitewater raft trip, with one major distinction. It is all about having fun.

Raft guides help the soldiers focus on the positives of their experience. Through rafting, soldiers demonstrate trust, confidence and competence for their group and leaders in a fun environment. The program aims to mitigate risky and destructive behavior common to soldiers returning home from combat.

Raft guides find working with the soldiers to be rewarding, seeing them as both fellow adrenaline junkies as well as a highly functioning team. “As a raft guide I respect and admire them for their devotion to each other and to our country.” comments Ryan Copenhagen, a river guide at Wet Planet. “I am humbled in their presence and honored to help them
