Now booking copywriting and content marketing projects
Yesterday was #NationalWorkingParentsDay, and as such, I’m sharing a moment of my work life I never anticipated: quietly typing at 3 a.m. from PICU to meet a deadline.
Last month, I spent a week and a half in PICU at UCLA, where my toddler underwent an SEEG then a frontal lobectomy to cease seizures. It isn’t the parenting experience anyone wants — and not the wifi speed one has come to expect in 2024. I could/should have taken time off, but maintaining a connection to “the outside world” (other medical parents will understand this) sustained me.
For the past year-plus, I all but ceased my freelance copywriting and content marketing projects to take care of my son during his complex health issues. Glad to do it — that’s my job as a mom — but I’ve also missed my career. I love working.
Now we’re on the other side. My toddler is doing so well and starts day care next month, meaning: I’m back open for business.
Here’s what I do:
+ Well-researched blog posts (1,000+ words)
+ Pithy email marketing series
+ Succinct web copy
... And more. If you’re searching “freelance writer” or “freelance editor,” I’ve rocked a project like yours before. Here are a few:
Why should I hire a copywriter?
Turn your content needs over to me, and get on with your day using your own strengths. Maybe that’s managing a team, designing logos, or analyzing data spreadsheets (bless your heart) — I’m a big believer in working with your own skills and hiring out where you’re lacking. It’s why I have an accountant and graphic designer.
Benefits of hiring a copywriter:
You’ll have thoughtful, polished, well-researched content ready to go live.
If your brand doesn’t yet have a distinct voice, I’ll create one — Yodelayheehoo! (It won’t sound like that.)
In keeping with my idols William Strunk, Jr., and E.B. White, I don’t use nine words when four will do. That means less reading time for your easily distracted site visitors so they quickly glean the point: Your products are awesome, you’re a saint, and they feel compelled to give you all their money.
A content marketing plan, full stop. It can be overwhelming to know you need online advertising but haven’t the foggiest idea of how to cobble together a quality marketing strategy to convert clients. Let me be that cobbler.

Oh, you want numbers? We got numbers —>
B2B content marketers who reported low-to-nonexistent levels of content marketing success say it’s mostly due to content creation challenges (63%) and strategy issues (51%) — both of which Katie Lewis Creative handles for you.

Here’s what’s new:
While I directly work with all of my clients, I also collaborate with a trusted, hand-picked team of women subcontractors (since there's only so much I can do as one person). We work together on research + strategy, creative + execution, and revisions.
Every single piece is still shaped, edited and approved by me before it's ever shared with a client.
What this means for Katie Lewis Creative: more projects.
What this means for you: even more brilliant minds at work.
Here’s what they say:
“Katie is a dream to work with. Her time is reasonably priced, the turn-around time was quick, and deliverables spectacularly well thought-out. Katie worked with me on creating a style guide for a website. I’ve struggled finding writers who can be exposed to information, understand the style, and then adapt it. Katie is truly someone who ‘just gets it.’” — Amanda R.
“GREAT work. Enjoyed Katie’s communication style for us to get started. She makes this work seem so easy. What she did in an hour, I would have spent 10 hours doing, and it would have been half as good. I look forward to working with Katie again.” — Liz A
