Dana Cook
WRITER AND EDITOR
“It’s story time!”
From an early age, I lived for these words. The only reason I was swayed to go to kindergarten was the promise of storytime.
Now, I tell stories for a living – YOUR stories. Content marketing is telling stories that attract your clients, gain their trust and loyalty, and turn that into profitable action. Innovative content marketing helps your B2B clients solve work-related issues, and your B2C prospects improve their personal lives. Stories are vital to any business. Let me tell yours!
Dear editors, you, too, need stories. Well-crafted, audience-engaging, informative stories to draw readers. Fresh, powerful, polished stories create loyal readers who share them with others. And increased readers = increased revenue.
But there's more to the story.
Once upon a time, I was a managing editor of a glossy interior design magazine. What I valued most was a freelance writer who wrote the assigned story within the specifications provided - and didn't blow the deadline! I especially loved writers who were flexible, dependable, and who understood the importance of professional relationships. And that is what you get from me.
But that’s not how this story ends.
Do you have the next great novel in your head but can’t seem to pull it out of your fingertips? OK, maybe it's not a novel, but do you need to maintain regular engagement with your audience through an email campaign, newsletter, or social media content? Hire me as your ghostwriter.
What’s my story?
It all started with my communications degree, leading me to writing, publishing, and editing roles. I've tackled everything from medical textbooks to home magazines, always eager for new challenges.
In a plot twist, I pursued becoming a licensed clinical social worker, diving deep into human connections and helping others heal. In the next chapter, I became a registered nurse. After several years working in busy emergency departments, I ran away to sea, where I spent the next 12 years traveling the world as a cruise ship nurse. I've got stories to tell!
I pride myself on having an old-fashioned work ethic, delivering top-notch work that exceeds expectations, as per your specs, on time, and without drama.
Balsamroot, the signature native sunflower of where I live in North Central Washington, is one rugged beauty. Drought-tolerant, fire-resistant, winter-hardy, and trample-tolerant, this lovely, resilient plant has medicinal benefits and can live for 40 years or more!
