Olivia brought A+ writing skills and a genuine interest in learning about the great work of our organization.”

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Olivia when she served as grant-writing consultant for Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra. Olivia went above and beyond the technical aspects of grant writing. Those aspects - her communications skills, attention to detail, and time management - were all very strong. Olivia truly cared for her clients, and you could tell by the way she learned about the organization's mission, was very attuned to our strengths and challenges, and was always understanding of our needs and resources. I highly recommend Olivia as a great fund development collaborator!”

— Kathleen Allen, Executive Director, Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra
