Writing Services

Need clear, compelling copy – online or print?

Hi, I’m Sandra Pawula, professional freelance writer, copywriter, and strategist.

I specialize in writing quality content that captures your unique vision, message, and style.

If you find writing a challenge or simply don’t have the time or staff to meet all your writing needs,  I’m here to make your life easier.

Imagine… writing infused with a panoramic yet strategic view blended with a passion for precision.  Add a natural affinity for the client’s perspective.  Enhance with the knack for weaving different threads into a rich, coherent whole.  Mingle with a bit of verve and sparkle…but only if you wish. Voila!

That’s my promise to you.

“Rarely have I worked with a writer who has Sandra’s skill for compressing complex ideas into clear, vivid sentences, which are as enjoyable to read as they are informative. Lively, sharp writing is a lost art in the 21st Century, but luckily there remain a handful of writers who combine natural ability, excellent training and uncanny intuition. Sandra belongs in that group. She also happens to be a joy to work with.”

Peter Stevenson, former Executive Editor, The New York Observer

Testimonials

“Sandra excels at writing all types of business and nonprofit communications that are clear, appealing and appropriate to the information interests of the readers.  I’ve engaged Sandra on several projects, and have always been delighted with the results.”

~Judith Brown, PhD., President,  The Judith Brown Company

“I have worked with Sandra for more than a year on a series of columns promoting the social services programs of our union. It involves Sandra going back and forth between me (the editor) and the chief of the social services program. Her copy is invariably clean and accomplishes the goal of that program.”

~Lance Howland, former Editor, New York Teacher (Newspaper), New York State United Teachers

Background

I began writing professionally in 2004 on a wide range of topics from social service articles for New York Teacher Newspaper to fundraising letters for nonprofits and case studies for businesses.

Prior to that, as an Executive Director of non-profit organizations for twenty years, I wrote a multitude of fundraising, marketing, and publicity materials. In fact, my effective development communications have raised millions of dollars. At the same tine, I oversaw the development of a profitable mail order business and a successful online distance learning program.

As the creator and writer of the popular personal development blog, Always Well Within, I’m well versed in the art and science of blog writing and promotion.  You’ll find more than 200 practical and uplifting articles in the tops posts and archive.
